cpanmetrics - Generation of CPAN metrics using some default settings
> cpanmetrics (various output for several hours)
cpanmetrics is the script version of the CPAN::Metrics module, downloading a minicpan mirror, expanding out the default set of Perl files from the archives, and processing the metrics data for all installed Perl::Metrics plugins.
cpanmetrics
The minicpan mirror will be checked out underneath a .minicpan directory, created in your home directory.
.minicpan
The archives will be extracted underneath a .cpanmetrics directory, create in your home directory, with the root directory for each archive located at the same name as the relevant archive in the .minicpan directory.
.cpanmetrics
And finally, the metrics SQLite database will be created at .cpanmetrics/metrics.sqlite.
.cpanmetrics/metrics.sqlite
To install CPAN::Metrics, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.
