[edit] Requirements

Litmus depends on Apache (web server) and MySQL (database software). It also requires the following Perl Modules:

Required Perl Modules:

  • Class::DBI
  • Class::DBI::mysql
  • Template
  • Time::Piece
  • Time::Piece::mysql
  • Time::Seconds
  • Date::Manip
  • HTML::StripScripts
  • HTML::StripScripts::Parser
  • Text::Markdown
  • XML::XPath

The use of the Apache module, "mod_perl" is highly recommended as it highly improves the performance of the software, but not required.
