Soundgrab needs perl 5 or later, GNU readline, and the sox sound
format conversion program (http://home.sprynet.com/~cbagwell/sox.html,
but your distro surely has packaged this), as well as some less
standard things.  For your convenience, I have bundled the less
standard requirements in this package, in case you don't want to go
get them: Term-ReadLine-Gnu and Time-HiRes from CPAN
(http://www.cpan.org), and rawrec-0.9.95 or later (available from
http://rawrec.sourceforge.net).

Your distribution may well have rolled some of CPAN in with perl for
you, possibly including the above modules.

If you don't want to fetch and install the odd things by hand you can do

make install_odd_things

to build and install the odd things in the default places (hopefully
under /usr/local, but I'm not prepared to swear that for every
possible pre-packaged configuration of perl, the perl modules don't
automagicly install themselves in some funny place).  You'll need the
development headers for libreadline.

Hopefully your system has these perl modules packaged somewhere anyway
(in debian 2.2 they are in the libterm-readline-gnu-perl and
libtime-hires-perl packages).

To install just rawrec (under /usr/local), use

make install_rawrec

To install just soundgrab and its man page (under /usr/local, unless
you edit the Makefile to change this) you do

make install
