This is the source archive for the next generation of VASM (Vector
Administrative and Services Menu, not to be confused with Vancouver Area
Sadism & Masochism, one hopes). This project remains under development, and
the latest releases, updated on a semi-daily basis, can be found here:

Because this project is written in Perl, you will need a few modules from CPAN
as well as a stock install of Perl 5.8 (we are using Unicode, I should have
mentioned as well). Currently, these are:

  * XML::Parser, which comes with Vector actually
  * Tie::Hash::Indexed
  * File::BaseDir
  * File::MimeInfo
  * URI
  * XML::Writer
  * UI::Dialog

The project now includes a patched, unofficial version of CDialog.pm for
UI::Dialog which supports the 'yes-label' and 'no-label' options. This is
critical for supporting i18n in VASM, as different people have their own ways
of saying 'yes' and 'no' (ja, haa, khong, nahii, etc...). I hope to get this
merged into CPAN at some point, but for the time being, you will have to
install it manually.
