+- PostgreSQL.  It should be possible to (fairly) trivially patch 
   the code for any other DBMS that supports:
-  - an IP address/CIDR netblock data type
-  - higher/greater, lower/less than, contains, and is-contained-by 
-    operators
+  - an IP address/CIDR netblock data type, supporting higher/greater,
+    lower/less than, contains, and is-contained-by operators
 - Perl >= 5.6
   - Standard modules:
     These should be included in any base Perl install
+    - CGI::Carp
+    - File::Basename
     - File::Path
-    - CGI::Carp
+    - File::Spec
     - POSIX
     - Sys::Syslog
   - Extra modules:
-    - NetAddr::IP >= 4.x.  3.x may work, however 4.x has been out for 
-      more than 4 years.
+    - CGI::Simple
     - DBI
     - DBD::Pg
+    - Frontier::Client and Frontier::Responder.  Note that you may want to apply patch
+      https://secure.deepnet.cx/releases/Frontier-HTAuth.patch to support calls out to
+      an XMLRPC responder using HTTP AUTH, and will probably want to apply patch
+      https://secure.deepnet.cx/releases/Frontier-undef_scalars.patch if you want to
+      use the IPDB XMLRPC responder to keep your webserver error log from overflowing
+      with "Use of uninitialized value..." warnings.
+    - HTML::Template
+    - NetAddr::IP
     - Sys::SigAction.  This isn't strictly required;  it's used in an 
       example hook for validating customer IDs against an external 
       database.  It could arguably be replaced with sigaction() from the 
       POSIX module when using Perl >= 5.8.2.  See eg Sys::SigAction on 
-      CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/~lbaxter/Sys-SigAction-0.11/lib/Sys/SigAction.pm) 
+      CPAN (https://metacpan.org/release/LBAXTER/Sys-SigAction-0.11/view/lib/Sys/SigAction.pm)
       for some thoughts on the gritty details.
