Text-Bidi
This is a perl interface to the libfribidi library that implements the
Unicode bidi algorithm. The bidi algorithm is a specification for displaying
text that consists of both left-to-right and right-to-left written languages.
PREREQUISITES
The fribidi library should be installed prior to installing this module. It
is available from http://fribidi.org . The module was tested with version
0.10.7 of the library.
To re-build the interface files, swig is required. However, the module comes
with these files, so swig is not necessary. Swig is available at
http://www.swig.org . Version 1.3.31 was used to build the interface files.
INSTALLATION
To install this module, run the following commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
As mentioned above, fribidi should be installed. Note that most of the tests
during 'make test' will probably fail, because of (apparently) a bug in
libfribidi, as described in the pod.
SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION
After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc
command.
