cog version 0.06 ================ cog.pm, a module for cutting cogwheels from sheet metal. At the moment we do horological cogs only using equations tightly based on British Standard for this type of wheel. There are also some functions for cutting a Graham type escapement (wheel and yoke). This software is in a very early stage of development. See the file cogtest.pl for example usage. This code has been developed under Windows 98SE. I have not tested it under any other operating system, but do not expect operating system dependencies. EXAMPLES Some extended examples along with photographs of the artifacts produced and the output from the cog.pm module can be viewed here: http://www.jetmark.co.uk/cog/ INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: GD - If and only if you intend to view graphical output. OPERATING SYSTEM This module has been developed under Windows 98 and Perl 5.8 I thought it would work under Linux, but when I tried it under Suse 10 I found it doesnt. Its all to do with the packaging: line feed format, lack of execute permissions on directories, and even wrong capitalisation on file names. I've sadly given up on this for the moment. I'll restate my original point: if you are able to get it installed under Linux, you probably find it works.
