NAME

cpm - a fast CPAN module installer

SYNOPSIS

  # install modules into local/
  > cpm install Module1 Module2 ...

  # install modules with verbose messages
  > cpm install -v Module

  # from cpanfile (with cpanfile.snapshot if any)
  > cpm install

  # install module into current @INC istead of local/
  > cpm install -g Module

  # prefer TRIAL release
  > cpm install --dev Moose

  # install modules as if version of your perl is 5.8.5
  # so that modules which are not core in 5.8.5 will be installed
  > cpm install --target-perl 5.8.5

  # resolve distribution names from DARKPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
  # and fetch distibutions from DARKPAN/authors/id/...
  > cpm install --resolver 02packages,http://example.com/darkpan Your::Module
  > cpm install --resolver 02packages,file:///path/to/darkpan    Your::Module

  # use darkpan first, and if it fails, use metadb and normal CPAN
  > cpm install --resolver 02packages,http://example.com/darkpan --resolver metadb Your::Module

  # specify types/phases in cpanfile by "--with-*" and "--without-*" options
  > cpm install --with-recommends --without-test
