General Notes
-------------
---------------
There are a number of build targets that can be viewed as "Windows".
-Indeed, there are `VC-*` configs targeting VisualStudio C, as well as
+Indeed, there are `VC-*` configs targeting Visual Studio C, as well as
MinGW and Cygwin. The key recommendation is to use a Perl installation
that matches the build environment. For example, if you will build
on Cygwin be sure to use the Cygwin package manager to install Perl.
For MSYS builds use the MSYS provided Perl.
-For VC-* builds we recommend Strawberry Perl, from <http://strawberryperl.com>.
+For VC-* builds, we recommend Strawberry Perl, from <http://strawberryperl.com>.
An alternative is ActiveState Perl, from <http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl>
for which you may need to explicitly select the Perl module Win32/Console.pm
available via <https://platform.activestate.com/ActiveState>.
`.PCSI` file from <http://www.vmsperl.com/> and install it using the
POLYCENTER install tool.
+Perl on NonStop
+---------------
+
+Perl is installed on HPE NonStop platforms as part of the Scripting Languages
+package T1203PAX file. The package is shipped as part of a NonStop RVU
+(Release Version Updates) package. Individual SPRs (Software Product Release)
+representing fixes can be obtained from the Scout website at
+<https://h22204.www2.hpe.com/NEP>. Follow the appropriate set of installation
+instructions for your operating system release as described in the
+Script Language User Guide available from the NonStop Technical Library.

Required Perl modules
---------------------
We do our best to limit ourselves to core Perl modules to keep the
requirements down. There are just a few exceptions.
+ * Text::Template this is required *for building*
-## For Building
-
- * `Text::Template`
-
- This module is not part of the core Perl modules.
- As a matter of fact, the core Perl modules do not
- include any templating module to date.
- This module is absolutely needed,
- configuration depends on it.
-
-## For Testing
-
- * `Test::More`
-
- We require the minimum version to be 0.96, which
- appeared in Perl 5.13.4, because that version was
- the first to have all the features we're using.
- This module is required for testing only!
- If you don't plan on running the tests,
- you don't need to bother with this one.
-
-
+ To avoid unnecessary initial hurdles, we include a copy of this module
+ in the source. It will work as a fallback if the module isn't already
+ installed.

Notes on installing a Perl module

characters, so the lines above would be:
