TCB::Seminar - TCB Seminar Database
===================================

TCB::Seminar is a DBIx::Frame object written to keep track of group
seminars for the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group at UIUC.
It provides an administrative web interface for adding, modifying, or
deleting this information, and a public interface, for outside users and
group members to access but not modify most information.  

The public version of this interface can be sampled here:

  http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Services/Seminar/

Specific tables are described in the following modules:

  TCB::Seminar::Lecture		Actual seminar information
  TCB::Seminar::Functions	Functions applying to all seminars
  TCB::Seminar::CheckList	Checklist of to-do items for seminars

There are several 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

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::Seminar' after
installation, or 'pod2text TCB/Seminar.pm | less' right now.  'perldoc
TCB::Seminar' probably also works.

Further information is available in the INSTALL file.
