This module has been modified so that it will compile using the
win32 support in core perl.

The file Win32Clipboard-0.03.zip contains:

    README
    README.TXT

(be sure to have unzipped it with LONG FILE NAMES and PATHS)

Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^
    1. Run the INSTALL.BAT program.
    2. Run the TEST.PL script to see if everything works.
    3. Have fun.


What's new in this version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Changes from version 0.01 are:
    . The PLL file now comes in 2 versions, one for Perl version 5.001 (build 110)
      and one for Perl version 5.003 (build 300 and higher, EXCEPT 304).
    . Added an installation program which will automatically copy the right files
      in the right place.
    . Added an object-oriented programming approach.

Usage
^^^^^
Put this line at the beginning of your Perl scripts:

    use Win32::Clipboard;

And then play with the following functions (I believe they are 
self-explanatory):

    $text = Win32::Clipboard::Get();
    Win32::Clipboard::Set("blah blah blah");
    Win32::Clipboard::Empty();

Alternatively, you can use the clipboard as an object with this syntax:

    $Clip = Win32::Clipboard();
    $text = $Clip->Get();
    $Clip->Set("blah blah blah");
    $Clip->Empty();

Note that creating the object with a parameter automatically sets
the clipboard content to that value:

    $Clip = Win32::Clipboard("blah blah blah");
