Optionally, it can take a single-letter switch and one or more argument, to perform the associated action on each arguments. The commands are:
a AUTHOR... # search by author(s) m MODULE... # search by module(s) f AUTHOR... # list all distributions by an author(s) i MODULE... # install module(s) t MODULE... # test module(s) u MODULE... # uninstall module(s) d MODULE... # download module(s) into current directory l MODULE... # display detailed information about module(s) r MODULE... # display README files of module(s) c MODULE... # check for module report(s) from cpan-testers
Each command may be prefixed with one or more options. If preceded by no, the corresponding option will be set to 0, otherwise it's set to 1. The valid options includes cpantest, debug, flush, force, prereqs, storable, verbose and md5; please consult CPANPLUS::Configure for an explanation to their meanings.
