The latest update to ParaTools, version 1.10, has been released. This
version has some major changes:
- Module renaming: The ParaTools modules have been renamed to
Biblio::Citation::Parser and Biblio::Document::Parser. This is to allow
for the addition of ParaTools to CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive
Network.
- Two new modules have been added - Biblio::Citation::Parser::Citebase
and Biblio::Document::Parser::Brody. Both written by Tim Brody, the
former provides functionality based on the Citebase citation parser,
and the latter provides an accurate means of reference extraction from
documents.
- The ParaTools build process now uses Module::Build, a replacement for
ExtUtils::MakeMaker that is written in pure Perl. This is a fairly new
system, so may require that you install the Module::Build module. The
automated CPAN installer does not yet support this, although CPANPLUS
does, and the next version will include a fallback option.
The Perl modules are available from CPAN or from the ParaTools
downloads page:
