TCB::Publications - TCB Publications Database
=============================================

TCB::Publications is a DBIx::Frame object written to keep track of group
publications for the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group at
UIUC.  It provides an administrative web interface for adding, modifying,
or deleting this information; an internal interface, for group members to
access but not modify most information; and a public interface, for
outside users to search for publications, read abstracts, and download
fulltext copies of the papers.

The public version of this interface can be sampled here:

  http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Publications/Papers/

Specific tables are described in the following modules:

  TCB::Publiations::Files	Full-texts of papers
  TCB::Publications::Functions	Functions applying to all papers
  TCB::Publications::Papers	Paper information

There are many scripts that are not auto-installed with this package; look
through the distribution carefully for example scripts and files.

Prerequisites
=============

You must have the following modules installed:

  DBIx::Frame		v1.05
  CGI::SHTML		v1.27
  MailTools		v1.15
  LaTeX2HTML		http://www.latex2html.org/
  tth			http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/

You will also need a running database (mysql is the only one tested), and 
permission to either use the existing contents or create new ones.

Installation Notes
==================

Installing this software is easy:

  perl Makefile.pl
  make
  make test
  make install

Database creation should be taken care of with TCB::System.

Documentation
=============

All of the documentation is in the manual pages - 'man TCB::Publications'
after installation, or 'pod2text TCB/Publications.pm | less' right now.
'perldoc TCB::Publications' probably also works.

Further information is available in the INSTALL file.
