The CPAN module automates or at least simplifies the make and install of perl modules and extensions. It includes some primitive searching capabilities and knows how to use LWP, HTTP::Tiny, Net::FTP and certain external download clients to fetch dist...

This bundle includes CPAN.pm as the base module. When CPAN installs this bundle it tries immediately to enable Term::ReadLine so that you do not need to restart your CPAN session. In this bundle Term::ReadLine::Perl is preferred over Term::ReadLine::...

This module is used to implement a small piece of functionality inside the CPAN/PAUSE indexer which generates mirror.yml and mirror.json. These files are used to allow CPAN clients (via the Mirror::YAML or Mirror::JSON modules) to implement mirror va...

Implemented as a post-test hook, this plugin writes a specfile after every successful test run. The content is also written to the terminal. As a side effect, the timestamps of the written specfiles reflect the linear order of all dependencies. WARNI...

What is CPAN Changes cwalitee? A metric to attempt to gauge the quality of your CPAN Changes file. Since actual quality is hard to measure, this metric is called a "cwalitee" instead. The cwalitee concept follows "kwalitee" [1] which is specifically ...
