Perl interface to the PC/SC smart card library
==============================================
This package contains a Perl wrapper to the PC/SC smartcard library
(pcsc-lite) [1] from MUSCLE [2] together with some small examples.
You can find applications using this wrapper in the pcsc-tools package
[3].

Build and Install:
==================
A very quick documentation on how to build and install the wrapper.
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
Insert a smart card in the (first) PCSC reader
$ make test
$ sudo make install
Remarks:
========
For Windows users:
Status behaves different on Unix and from Win32
it returns the Atr len
it does not return any error like

pcsc-lite > 1.6.4
1.4.10 - 18 August 2010, Ludovic ROUSSEAU
- Use LPSCARD_READERSTATE instead of LPSCARD_READERSTATE_A since it
is no more defined in pcsc-lite >= 1.6.2
1.4.9 - 30 June 2010, Ludovic ROUSSEAU
- remove reference to SCARD_W_INSERTED_CARD since it is no more
define in pcsc-lite 1.6.0 Thanks to Olivier Huber for the bug
report

this is used by gscriptor 1.4.0
1.4.1 - 4 July 2004, Ludovic ROUSSEAU
- Card/Card.pm:
. ISO7816Error(): return an error if given $sw if not 5 chars long
"xx xx"
. Transmit(): return (undef) if the protocol is not defined. This
happens if you change a T=0 card with a T=1 (or vice versa) and
try to exchange an APDU without disconnecting first.
- PCSCperl.h: replace LPCSTR by LPCTSTR (pcsc-lite 1.2.9 beta4)
1.4.0 - 20 May 2004, Ludovic ROUSSEAU
- use a new Control() API to reflect the change in SCardControl() in
pcsc-lite. We now have

- add two constant definitions in PCSC.pm. Thanks to Ville Skyttä
for report and patch

have Makefile.PL and Makefile_OSX.PL. Again thanks goes to Ville
Skyttä
- Also thanks to Wolfgang Hommel for uploading the package to CPAN
