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.
