NAME

CPAN::Mini::Tested - create a CPAN mirror using modules that have passed tests

SYNOPSYS

  use CPAN::Mini::Tested;

  CPAN::Mini::Tested->update_mirror(
   remote => "http://cpan.mirrors.comintern.su",
   local  => "/usr/share/mirrors/cpan",
   trace  => 1
  );

DESCRIPTION

This module is a subclass of CPAN::Mini which checks the CPAN Testers database for passing tests of that distribution on your platform. Distributions will only be downloaded if there are passing tests.

The major differences are that it will download the testers.db file from the CPAN Testers web site when updating indices.

CAVEATS

This is a prototype module, which will need further work before using in a production environment.

This module is only of use if there are active testers for your platform.

Note that the lack of passing tests in the testers database does not mean that a module will not run on your platform, only that it will not be downloded. Likewise, passing tests do not mean that a module will run on your platform.
