DESCRIPTION
This script provides a command interface (not a shell) to CPAN.pm.
Meta Options
These options are mutually exclusive, and the script processes them in
this order: [ahvr]. Once the script finds one, it ignores the others,
and then exits after it finishes the task. The script ignores any
other command line options.
-a Creates the CPAN.pm autobundle with CPAN::Shell->autobundle.
-h Prints a help message.
-r Recompiles dynamically loaded modules with CPAN::Shell->recompile.
-v Print the script version and CPAN.pm version.
Module options
These options are mutually exclusive, and the script processes them in
alphabetical order.
c Runs a `make clean` in the specified module's directories.
i Installed the specified modules.
m Makes the specified modules.
t Runs a `make test` on the specified modules.
Examples
# print a help message
cpan -h
# print the version numbers
cpan -v
# create an autobundle
cpan -a
# recompile modules
cpan -r
# install modules
cpan -i Netscape::Booksmarks Business::ISBN
TO DO
* add options for other CPAN::Shell functions autobundle, clean, make,
recompile, test
BUGS
* none noted
SEE ALSO
Most behaviour, including environment variables and configuration,
comes directly from CPAN.pm.
