NAME

cpan-release-counts - display graph of CPAN releases by year for single user or all users

SYNOPSIS

 cpan-release-counts [--user NEILB] [--char =] [--width 40] [--year YYYY] [-monthly]
                     [--distprefix Moose]

DESCRIPTION

cpan-release-counts generates a text graph of all CPAN releases by year, either across all users, or for a specific user. The most likely usage is to see your personal release history:

 % cpan-release-counts --user RJBS
 2003 (  4)
 2004 (137) #############
 2005 ( 87) ########
 2006 (277) ##########################
 2007 (238) ######################
 2008 (219) #####################
 2009 (382) ####################################
 2010 (379) ####################################
 2011 (195) ##################
 2012 (172) ################
 2013 (519) #################################################
 2014 ( 58) #####

If you don't specify a user, you'll get a graph of all releases each year. You can also change the character used when drawing the bars, and the maximum width used for the longest bar:

 % cpan-release-counts --char = --width 30
 
 1995 (  193)
 1996 (  634)
 1997 ( 1403) =
 1998 ( 2253) ==
 1999 ( 2705) ===
 2000 ( 3475) ====
 2001 ( 5649) ======
 2002 ( 7511) ========
 2003 (10129) ===========
 2004 (11331) =============
 2005 (12410) ==============
 2006 (12773) ==============
 2007 (14536) ================
 2008 (18534) =====================
 2009 (21078) ========================
 2010 (22225) =========================
 2011 (21893) =========================
 2012 (22669) ==========================
 2013 (25768) ==============================
 2014 ( 3502) ====

If you use the --monthly switch, you'll get the counts broken down by month. You can also restrict the data to a particular year:

 % cpan-release-counts --year 2003 --monthly --width 40
 200301 (769) ################################
 200302 (688) ############################
 200303 (880) ####################################
 200304 (812) ##################################
 200305 (821) ##################################
 200306 (902) #####################################
 200307 (913) ######################################
 200308 (907) #####################################
 200309 (955) ########################################
 200310 (841) ###################################
 200311 (785) ################################
 200312 (856) ###################################

You can use the --distprefix (or -d) option to only consider releases where the distributions name matches the given prefix:

 % cpan-release-counts -d Moose
 2006 ( 25) ##
 2007 (117) ###########
 2008 (279) ############################
 2009 (491) ##################################################
 2010 (371) #####################################
 2011 (309) ###############################
 2012 (327) #################################
 2013 (299) ##############################
 2014 ( 46) ####
