CPAN::SQLite::META - helper module for CPAN.pm integration

2 ++

2 ++

This module has no direct public interface, but is intended as a helper module for use of CPAN::SQLite within the CPAN.pm module. A new object is created as my $obj = CPAN::SQLite::META->new($CPAN::META); where $CPAN::META comes from CPAN.pm. There a...

CPAN::Meta::History - history of CPAN Meta Spec changes
