TCB::PortMap - TCB Group Port Map
=================================

TCB::PortMap is a basic port tracking package written for DBIx::Frame,
used at the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group at UIUC.  It is
used to keep track of which ports are on/off and at what speeds, when
information regarding these ports only comes in occasionally.  It provides
an (inefficient) administrative web interface for managing port
information.

Specific tables are described in the following modules:

  TCB::System::Port	  Port Map

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

You must have the following modules installed:

  TCB::System		v0.99
  DBIx::Frame		v1.05

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