DESCRIPTION
This simple shell script just updates (or creates) a miniature CPAN mirror as described in CPAN::Mini.
CONFIGURATION FILE
By default,
minicpan
will read a configuration file to get configuration information. The file is a simple set of names and values, as in the following example:local: /home/rjbs/mirrors/minicpan/ remote: http://your.favorite.cpan/cpan/ exact_mirror: 1
minicpan
tries to find a configuration file through the following process. It takes the first defined it finds:Use the value specified by
-C
on the command lineUse the value in the
CPAN_MINI_CONFIG
environment variableUse ~/.minicpanrc
Use CPAN/Mini/minicpan.conf
If the selected file does not exist,
minicpan
does not keep looking.You can override this process with a
config_file
method in your subclass.See
CPAN::Mini
for a full listing of available options.TO DO
Improve command-line options.
