NAME
pm-metainfo - dump meta info from a perl module
SYNOPSIS
pm-metainfo perl-module-distfile.tar.gzDESCRIPTION
This is a demonstrator program which simply dumps a description of all it can work out about a perl module to stdout. It could be used for more interesting things, but normally a different program which interfaces Module::MetaInfo.pm would be written instead.
The output of this program can also be read from and parsed directly for use in shell scripts.
OPTIONS
--modlist=<filename>
This option tells pm-metainfo to use filename as the file where the uncompressed machine readable version of the modules list is stored (normally distributed as 03modlist.data.gz). When this is activated extra meta information will be provided where available.
--verbose
this option turns on debugging information
