NAME

CPAN::Uploader - upload things to the CPAN

VERSION

version 0.103015

METHODS

upload_file

  CPAN::Uploader->upload_file($file, \%arg);

  $uploader->upload_file($file);

Valid arguments are:

  user        - (required) your CPAN / PAUSE id
  password    - (required) your CPAN / PAUSE password
  subdir      - the directory (under your home directory) to upload to
  http_proxy  - uri of the http proxy to use
  upload_uri  - uri of the upload handler; usually the default (PAUSE) is right
  debug       - if set to true, spew lots more debugging output
  retries     - number of retries to perform on upload failure (5xx response)
  retry_delay - number of seconds to wait between retries

This method attempts to actually upload the named file to the CPAN. It will raise an exception on error.

new

  my $uploader = CPAN::Uploader->new(\%arg);

This method returns a new uploader. You probably don't need to worry about this method.

Valid arguments are the same as those to upload_file.

read_config_file

  my $config = CPAN::Uploader->read_config_file( $filename );

This reads the config file and returns a hashref of its contents that can be used as configuration for CPAN::Uploader.

If no filename is given, it looks for .pause in the user's home directory (from the env var HOME, or the current directory if HOME isn't set).

See "CONFIGURATION" in cpan-upload for the config format.

log

  $uploader->log($message);

This method logs the given string. The default behavior is to print it to the screen. The message should not end in a newline, as one will be added as needed.

log_debug

This method behaves like "log", but only logs the message if the CPAN::Uploader is in debug mode.

ORIGIN

This code is mostly derived from cpan-upload-http by Brad Fitzpatrick, which in turn was based on cpan-upload by Neil Bowers. I (rjbs) didn't want to have to use a system call to run either of those, so I refactored the code into this module.
