*** IMPORTANT on *** Before you can install RadiusPerl, you'll have to make sure the following modules are installed first : * Digest::MD5 2.20 or higher * IO 1.12 or higher * Data::HexDump 0.02 or higher All of these are available from CPAN. *** IMPORTANT off *** To install the Radius Client module for Perl 5, proceed as follows : 1 Unpack the RadiusPerl source archive into a suitable directory with gunzip -cf RadiusPerl-x.xx.tar.gz |tar xvf - 2 Go into the newly created directory with cd RadiusPerl-x.xx 3 Build the module as usual : perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Note that for 'make test' to work, you should have a Radius server running with the IP address & secret of the target machine in its clients file. You should also know a username & password in order to test if authentication works OK. Doing a 'make test' will first ask you for each of these. Also, if you plan to do something more complicated than just verify username & password - you should have the RADIUS dictionary file available on the host where you will run you radius client utility, and use load_dictionary before you will try to send any requests. See the file 'README' for general notes on RadiusPerl. Carl Declerck, Andrew Zhilenko
