CABIE is under construction and although it works and has been deployed in 
several locations there is currently no documentation on the configuration 
and operation of CABIE.  

Currently the requirements of CABIE are:

1.  A threaded version of perl.  ActiveState perl is threaded, but typically
    perl on a posix system is not.  Generating a threaded version of perl 
    requires the user to compile perl from it's sources, carefully following
    the online instructions.  Perl can be compiled easily on any POSIX system
    as long as there's a complier available like gcc.  Here's how:

    a.  perl -MCPAN -e shell
    b.  force install threads
    c.  when asked if you want to build a threaded version say yes
    d.  follow the bouncing ball

    Once the compilation is complete you may need to rebuild packages that
    you may already have deployed. 

2.  MySql

    Use the provided schema file to build the necessary database and 
    tables.

3.  The following Perl packages:
    
    For POSIX:

        DBI
        DBD::mysql
        Mail::SendMail

    For Win2k or WinXP (sorry I don't have an installer yet):

        DBI (available from activestate)
        DBD::mysql (available from activestate)
        Mail::SendMail (available from activestate)
        Win32::Daemon (available from roth.net)
        Win32::Process (available from roth.net)
        Win32::Job (available from roth.net)
        Win32::AdminMisc (available from roth.net)

    The compilation of DBD::mysql under POSIX seems to require an 
    installation of mysql so that it can run tests.  It should only require
    access to headers and libs for compilation and can be forced to install 
    by hand.  If anyone else know an easier way I'd like to find out.
