The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 0.06 - 2014-12-14

  • Introduce $URL & $CACHE_PERIOD, can also be preset from XPAN_URL and XPAN_CACHE_PERIOD environment variables.
  • By default looks at /cpan *or* http://www.cpan.org/, so the 'url' argument is now optional (and now can be set from environment anyway).
  • Instead of Sereal, now converts 02packages.details.txt.gz to SQLite database. This makes first-time conversion longer (1-2s to 10-15s on my computer) but makes subsequent queries faster (from +- 0.3-0.5s to only millisecs) and makes this module usable for tab completion.
  • No longer depends on Unix external command 'zcat', but now uses PerlIO::gzip.
