NAME

cpan − easily interact with CPAN from the command line

SYNOPSIS

        # with arguments, installs specified modules
        cpan module_name [ module_name ... ]
        # with switches, installs modules with extra behavior
        cpan [-cimt] module_name [ module_name ... ]
        # without arguments, starts CPAN shell
        cpan

        # without arguments, but some switches
        cpan [-ahrv]

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.
