Thokbook is a personal library system, written in perl. It is intended
for medium to large individual collections (several thousand books).
With thokbook, you don't need to enter large amounts of information
for each of your books.  Just scan its barcode or type in the ISBN or
EAN and thokbook will get the rest of the information from Amazon.
Then you can create web pages so you can list all your books or search
them. You can also check books in and out and record who checked them
out.

So far thokbook has only been tested on Linux and Solaris, but it
should work on any Unix system that has perl.  It works with PostgreSQL
(http://www.postgresql.org/), MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/) or a flat
file database.

Requirements: perl (5.8.0 or greater), and the following perl modules:
DBI, Net::Amazon, Business::ISBN and one of DBD::Pg, DBD::mysql or
DBD::CSV, depending on which database you want to use.

If you want to be able to print out your one barcodes, you also have
to install GD::Barcode::EAN13.

Thokbook supports the Cuecat barcode scanner, if Barcode::Cuecat is
installed.

There are two parts to Thokbook: a perl module (Thokbook.pm) and a
perl script (thokbook) that form a command-line interface with the
module.
