<h1><a name="installation">INSTALLATION</a></h1>
<p>dave is installed to /usr/local/bin by default when you
install the PerlDAV library. See
<a href="http://www.webdav.org/perldav/">http://www.webdav.org/perldav/</a> for installation details
of PerlDAV.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="what_platforms_will_it_work_on">WHAT PLATFORMS WILL IT WORK ON?</a></h1>
<p>dave is pure perl so only needs Perl5.003 (or later) and
the <code>PerlDAV</code> library to be installed.</p>
<p>I have not ported dave to Windows but would like somebody
to have a shot at it.</p>
