DESCRIPTION

This module generates metadata about CPAN modules (and BACKPAN) modules in RDF format.

It requires a local CPAN mirror (for example, mirrored using "/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete ftp.nic.funet.fi::CPAN /path/to/local/cpan/") as well as a local BACKPAN mirror (for example, mirrored using "/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete pause.perl.org::backpan /path/to/local/backpan/").

It currently uses an SQLite database as a temporary datastore.
