+.IX Item "platform"
+If \f(CW\*(C`$^O=~/MSWin(32|64)$/i\*(C'\fR is true we know that we're on
+Windows and we set the global variable \f(CW$::_platform_\fR to \f(CW\*(C`win32\*(C'\fR.
+Otherwise we call \f(CW\*(C`config.guess\*(C'\fR. The output of \f(CW\*(C`config.guess\*(C'\fR
+is filtered as described below.
+.Sp
+\&\s-1CPU\s0 type is determined by a regexp. And it's necessary to
+\&\f(CW\*(C`s/i.86/i386/\*(C'\fR.
+.Sp
+For \s-1OS\s0 we need a list because we probably have something like
+\&\f(CW\*(C`linux\-gnu\*(C'\fR but we need \f(CW\*(C`linux\*(C'\fR. This list might/should contain OSs
+which are not currently supported. The list currently supports all
+platforms supported by TeX Live 2007 plus Cygwin.
+.Sp
+If a particular platform is not found in this list we use the regexp
+\&\f(CW\*(C`/.*\-(.*$)/\*(C'\fR as a last resort and hope it provides something useful.
+.Sp
+The result is stored in a global variable \f(CW$::_platform_\fR. If you call
+\&\f(CW\*(C`platform\*(C'\fR repeatedly, only the first call of \f(CW\*(C`platform\*(C'\fR will access
+the \s-1HD/CD/DVD\s0.
+.ie n .IP """platform_desc($platform)""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWplatform_desc($platform)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "platform_desc($platform)"
+Return a string which describes a particular platform. Same as in TeX
+Live 2007 but NetBSD added.
+.ie n .IP """win32""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWwin32\fR" 6
+.IX Item "win32"
+Return \f(CW1\fR if platform is Windows and \f(CW0\fR otherwise.
+.ie n .IP """unix""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWunix\fR" 6
+.IX Item "unix"
+Return \f(CW1\fR if platform is \s-1UNIX\s0 and \f(CW0\fR otherwise.
+.Sh "System Tools"
+.IX Subsection "System Tools"
+.ie n .IP """getenv($string)""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWgetenv($string)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "getenv($string)"
+Get an environment variable. It is assumed that the environment
+variable contains a path. On Windows all backslashes are replaced by
+forward slashes as required by Perl. If this behavior is not desired,
+use \f(CW$ENV{"$variable"}\fR instead. \f(CW0\fR is returned if the
+environment variable is not set.
+.ie n .IP """which($string)""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWwhich($string)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "which($string)"
+\&\f(CW\*(C`which\*(C'\fR does the same as the \s-1UNIX\s0 command \f(CWwhich(1)\fR, but it is
+supposed to work on Windows too. On Windows we have to try all the
+extensions given in the \f(CW\*(C`PATHEXT\*(C'\fR environment variable. We also try
+without appending an extension because if \f(CW$string\fR comes from an
+environment variable, an extension might aleady be present.
+.ie n .IP """program_exists($program)""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWprogram_exists($program)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "program_exists($program)"
+Return \f(CW1\fR if \f(CW$program\fR is in \f(CW\*(C`PATH\*(C'\fR and \f(CW0\fR otherwise.
+.ie n .IP """get_system_tmpdir""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWget_system_tmpdir\fR" 6
+.IX Item "get_system_tmpdir"
+Evaluate the environment variables \f(CW\*(C`TMPDIR\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`TMP\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`TEMP\*(C'\fR in
+order to find the system temporary directory.

+.IX Subsection "File Utulities"
+.ie n .IP """dirname($path)""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWdirname($path)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "dirname($path)"

+.ie n .IP """basename($path)""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWbasename($path)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "basename($path)"
+Return \f(CW$path\fR with any leading directory components removed.
+.ie n .IP """dirname_and_basename($path)""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWdirname_and_basename($path)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "dirname_and_basename($path)"
+Return both \f(CW\*(C`dirname\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`basename\*(C'\fR. Example:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& ($dirpart,$filepart) = dirname_and_basename ($path);
+.Ve
+.ie n .IP """mkdirhier($path, [$mode])""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWmkdirhier($path, [$mode])\fR" 6
+.IX Item "mkdirhier($path, [$mode])"
+The function \f(CW\*(C`mkdirhier\*(C'\fR does the same as the \s-1UNIX\s0 command \f(CW\*(C`mkdir \-p\*(C'\fR.
+The optional parameter sets the permission flags.
+.ie n .IP """copy($file, $target_dir)""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWcopy($file, $target_dir)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "copy($file, $target_dir)"
+Copy file \f(CW$file\fR to directory \f(CW$target_dir\fR. No external programs
+are involved. Since we need \f(CW\*(C`sysopen()\*(C'\fR, the Perl module \f(CW\*(C`Fcntl.pm\*(C'\fR
+is required. The time stamps are preserved and symlinks are created
+on \s-1UNIX\s0 systems. On Windows, \f(CW\*(C`(\-l $file)\*(C'\fR will certainly never
+return '\f(CW\*(C`true\*(C'\fR' and symlinks will be copied as regular files.
+.Sp
+\&\f(CW\*(C`copy\*(C'\fR invokes \f(CW\*(C`mkdirhier\*(C'\fR if target directories do not exist.
+Files have mode \f(CW0777\fR\-\fIumask\fR if they are executable and
+\&\f(CW0666\fR\-\fIumask\fR otherwise.

+.IX Item "install_packages($from_tlpdb, $to_tlpdb, $what, $netarchsref, $opt_src, $opt_doc)"
+Installs the list of packages found in \f(CW@$what\fR (a ref to a list) into
+the \s-1TLPDB\s0 given by \f(CW$to_tlpdb\fR. Information on files are taken from
+the \s-1TLPDB\s0 \f(CW$from_tlpdb\fR.
+.Sp
+\&\f(CW$netarchrefs\fR is a reference to a list of arch/os combination which should
+be installed from the network.
+.Sp
+\&\f(CW$opt_src\fR and \f(CW$opt_doc\fR specify whether srcfiles and docfiles should be
+installed (currently implemented only for installation from \s-1DVD\s0).
+.ie n .IP """install_package($what, $filelistref, $target, $platform)""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWinstall_package($what, $filelistref, $target, $platform)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "install_package($what, $filelistref, $target, $platform)"
+This function installs the files given in @$filelistref from \f(CW$what\fR
+into \f(CW$target\fR.
+.Sp
+If \f(CW$what\fR is a reference to a list of files then these files are
+assumed to be readable and are copied to \f(CW$target\fR, creating dirs on
+the way. In this case the list \f(CW@$filelistref\fR is not taken into
+account.
+.Sp
+If \f(CW$what\fR starts with \f(CW\*(C`http://\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`ftp://\*(C'\fR then \f(CW$what\fR is
+downloaded from the net and piped through c<lzmadec> and \f(CW\*(C`tar\*(C'\fR.
+.Sp
+If \f(CW$what\fR ends with \f(CW\*(C`.tar.lzma\*(C'\fR (but does not start with \f(CW\*(C`http://\*(C'\fR or
+\&\f(CW\*(C`ftp://\*(C'\fR) it is assumed to be a readable file on the system and is
+piped through \f(CW\*(C`lzmadec\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`tar\*(C'\fR in the very same way.
+.Sp
+In both of the last cases currently the list \f(CW$@filelistref\fR currently
+is not taken into account (should be fixed!).
+.Sh "Installer Functions"

+.ie n .IP """media""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWmedia\fR" 6
+.IX Item "media"
+Return media type. Either \f(CW\*(C`CD\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`DVD\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`NET\*(C'\fR.
+.Sp
+The result is stored in a global variable \f(CW$::_media_\fR. If you call
+\&\f(CW\*(C`media\*(C'\fR repeatedly, only the first call of \f(CW\*(C`media\*(C'\fR will access the
+\&\s-1CD/DVD\s0.
+.ie n .IP """initialize_installer""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWinitialize_installer\fR" 6
+.IX Item "initialize_installer"
+The function \f(CW\*(C`initialize_installer\*(C'\fR calls \f(CW\*(C`media\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`platform\*(C'\fR in
+order to set the variables \f(CW$::_media_\fR and \f(CW$::_platform_\fR.
+.Sp
+Note that \f(CW$0\fR contains backslashes as path separators on Windows.
+.Sp
+Repeatedly calls to \f(CW\*(C`media\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`platform\*(C'\fR do not access the \s-1CD/DVD\s0
+again.
+.ie n .IP """architectures_available""" 6
+.el .IP "\f(CWarchitectures_available\fR" 6
+.IX Item "architectures_available"
+The function \f(CW\*(C`architectures_available\*(C'\fR returns a list of

+.el .IP "\f(CWadditional_architectures_available_from_net (\e%vars)\fR" 6
+.IX Item "additional_architectures_available_from_net (%vars)"
+The function \f(CW\*(C`additional_architectures_available_from_net\*(C'\fR returns a
+list of additional platforms supported by the TeX Live server. It
+downloads the file \f(CW\*(C`$::texlive_url/$::netarchive/texlive.pkgver\*(C'\fR and
+creates a new object c<$::tlpdb_netbin>. The argument is a reference of
+the global \f(CW%vars\fR hash.

+These three functions create \f(CW\*(C`fmtutil.cnf\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`updmap.cfg\*(C'\fR, and
+\&\f(CW\*(C`language.dat\*(C'\fR in in \f(CW$dest\fR (which by default is below
