App::lcpan::Bootstrap - Bootstrap database for lcpan
This document describes version 20190520.0.0 of App::lcpan::Bootstrap (from Perl distribution App-lcpan-Bootstrap), released on 2019-05-20.
This distribution contains the database for lcpan (updated periodically), so you can save time when setting up your local CPAN mirror the first time. Without a boostrap database, indexing the mirror for the first time can take several hours. With a fairly recent bootstrap database, indexing time can be reduced to an hour or much less.
The compressed bootstrap database is stored in the distribution's share directory. lcpan will search for this bootstrap database the first time it is run.
If you run lcpan before installing this distribution, your empty database will already be created. To use the bootstrap database, install this distribution, remove the empty created index.db, then run lcpan again.
