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]. [1] http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ [2] http://www.musclecard.com/ [3] http://ludovic.rousseau.free.fr/softwares/pcsc-tools/ 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 Authors: ======== - Lionel VICTOR for the main part of the job - Ludovic ROUSSEAU for the debug and maintainance Licences: ========= pcsc-perl: wrapper to the PC/SC smartcard library Copyright (C) 2001-2003 Lionel VICTOR Copyright (C) 2001-2010 Ludovic ROUSSEAU This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

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 $RecvData = $hCard->Control($control_code, \@SendData); - load libpcsclite.so.1 instead of libpcsclite.so.0 1.3.1 - 2 April 2004, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - do not use PCSCLITE_MAX_CHANNELS anymor since it is no more defined by pcsc-lite > 1.2.0 and is not defined under Windows - test.pl: add demo code for GetStatusChange() - PCSC.pod: document GetStatusChange() - allow commands to be in the form "00A40100020100" instead of just "00 A4 01 0 0 02 01 00" 1.3.0 - 13 December 2003, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - add support of SCardControl with $out = $hContext->Control (\@in); Thanks to Andrew Kay. - more support of Windows PC/SC and compiler. Thanks to Andrew Kay and Troy Curtiss - array_to_ascii() returns an empty string for an empty list - add Makefile_win.PL for Windows - Card.pm: by default use T=0 | T=1 protocols instead of just T=0 1.2.2 - 27 May 2003, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - add two constant definitions in PCSC.pm. Thanks to Ville Skyttä for report and patch - add a PL_FILES section in Makefile*.PL to avoid problem since we have Makefile.PL and Makefile_OSX.PL. Again thanks goes to Ville Skyttä - Also thanks to Wolfgang Hommel for uploading the package to CPAN and registering the official name Chipcard::PCSC (Wolfgang is maintainer of the Chipcard::CTAPI wrapper) 1.2.1 - 24 May 2003, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - redesign the Makefile.PL to make the modules at least installable - add Card/Makefile.PL to also install Chipcard::PCSC::Card - modified test.pl to accept any SW in TransmitWithCheck 1.2.0 - 9 May 2003, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - naming scheme migration from PCSC to Chipcard::PCSC - add TransmitWithCheck() and Chipcard::PCSC::Card::ISO7816Error() functions 1.1.3 - 7 Nov 2002, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - small modifications to support Perl 5.8 1.1.2 - 28 Aug 2002, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - small modification to link against libpcsclite.so.0 instead of libpcsclite.so since libpcsclite.so should only be available on development platforms (-dev packages). 1.1.1 - 7 Mar 2002, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - small typesetting modifications od .pod files 1.1.0 - 6 Mar 2002, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - create this README file with the history - complete reindentation of .pod files 1.0.9 - 5 Mar 2002, Ludovic ROUSSEAU - the minium APDU length is 4 bytes and not 5 - correctly test if a digit is hexa or not 1.0.8 - 18 Oct 2001, Ludovic ROUSSEAU $Id: README,v 1.23 2010-08-18 21:07:02 rousseau Exp $
