If you are using apache2, you will need libapache2-mod-perl2 (debian
package).

Create a file  /etc/apache2/conf.d/paraframe with the content:

  <Perl>
     unshift @INC, '/usr/local/paraframe/lib';
  </Perl>

Or where you have put it.

Make sure to enable the userdir module if you are using
/home/myself/public_hyml/ for development. Also enable the perl
module.

I will assume you are using .htaccess, since a lot of functionality
depends on it. Be sure to allow using .htaccess in your webroot by
using "AllowOverride All". For example:

    <Directory /var/www/>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
      AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

This should be set in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf and in
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default, depending on your
configuration.

You can turn off apache functionality that is replaced by paraframe,
like MultiViews. MultiViews will interfere with the uri2file lookup
functionality.  Here is an example .htaccess file placed in
/var/www/pf-test :

    Options -MultiViews
    ErrorDocument 404 /pf-test/page_not_found.tt
    ErrorDocument 406 /pf-test/page_not_found.tt
    <FilesMatch ".tt$|^$">
      SetHandler           perl-script
      PerlHandler          Para::Frame::Client
    </FilesMatch>
    PerlSetVar port 7788

create a symlink in your site to the html/pf dir. If you are setting
up the site in the pf-test dir under the /var/www webroot, you will
create /var/www/pf-test/pf as a symlink to
/usr/local/paraframe/html/pf. Standing in /var/www/pf-test, you can
give the command:

  ln -s /usr/local/paraframe/html/pf


You have to start a paraframe daemon that listens to the port you
choosen. In the example above, it's 7788.

There is a demo/demoserv.pl you can try. You are meant to copy the
file and create your own application. Try it with

  ./demo/demoserver.pl //host.domain.com:7788/pf-test


Then start your favourite browser and visit

  http://host.domain.com/pf-test/


Good luck!
