Lifebox v0.07 - 6/8/2001


=Description


Lifebox is web-based journaling system, using Perl CGI, XML and a 
Berkeley database for storage, delivery, and maintenance.

Blah blah blah, blah blah.  Play with it - you'll see.


=Requirements


The Perl code that runs Lifebox equires the following modules:

   - CGI
   - CGI::Carp
   - DB_File
   - XML::XSLT
   - Text::Template

If you don't have these modules installed, you can download them
from CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/).


=Installation


Unpack all the files in the tarball, and place them in a CGI-enabled
directory.  Create an index page, or make a link to lifebox.cgi:

> ln lifebox.cgi index.cgi

Make sure all your permissions are set correctly - the following files
need to be readable and writable by whatever user the httpd runs as:

     lifeboxdb
     lifebox.xslt
     lifebox.template
     lifebox.index

Then, access lbadmin.cgi to set your initial preferences, and go!
(Your initial password is an empty string.  Make sure to reset it.)

Eventually I'll get around to creating a makefile, but for now, you're
on your own.  If you have trouble installing stuff try looking here:

=Version notes

#  Version 0.07 : 6/8/2001
#     - Adding date indexing functionality to make next/last links work
#     - Hoo boy was that code icky.  I'm sensing a loss of dedication.
#     - Goddamnit, something broke attribute parsing in XML::XSLT.  
#     - Need to fix latest on edit bug, too.  Slacker.
