# How do I build Monitoring::Plugin?

This is currently an optional setting at configure time.  You need to run:

    $ ./configure --enable-perl-modules

Then, `make`, `make` `install`, `make` `test`, and `make` `clean` will include
the Perl modules that are in the `perlmods/` directory as expected.  They are
installed into `$prefix/perl`.
