This is a site generator for the Hacker Public Radio website based upon the Perl Templates Toolkit.

=head1 INSTALLATION

	* Create the sqlite3 database from the files in the _sql directory. The default name for the 
	  database file is "hpr.db" and should be located in the root of the project directory. The 
	  name and location can be set in the site.cfg file.
	* Two sql helper scripts are available to generate an empty database or a database filled with test data.
	  - For an empty database: `cat Create_Database_Empty.sql | sqlite3 hpr.db`
	  - For a database with test data: `cat Create_Database_Test.sql | sqlite3 hpr.db`
	* Install the needed Perl modules using preferred method (distribution packages, CPAN, etc.)
		* GetOpt
		* Pod::Usage
		* Config::Std
		* Template
		* DBI
