NAME Acme::CPANModules::LocalCPANMirror - List of modules/tools to create a local CPAN mirror VERSION This document describes version 0.002 of Acme::CPANModules::LocalCPANMirror (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-LocalCPANMirror), released on 2023-10-29. DESCRIPTION Since CPAN repository is just a hierarchy of files, you can simply use a recursive download/mirror tool over http/https/ftp. However, for additional features you can take a look at the modules in this list. ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES CPAN::Mini Author: RJBS This module lets you create a so-called "mini mirror", which only contains the newest release for each distribution (where CPAN might also contains previous versions of a distribution as long as the CPAN author does not clean up his previous releases). This produces a significantly smaller CPAN mirror which you can use on your PC/laptop for offline development use. App::lcpan Author: PERLANCAR This application not only lets you download a CPAN mini mirror (using CPAN::Mini actually) but also index the package list and distribution metadata into a SQLite database so you can perform various queries, like list of modules/distributions/scripts of a CPAN author, or related modules using cross-mention information on modules' PODs, or various rankings. FAQ What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module? An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details. What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module? Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanm-cpanmodules -n LocalCPANMirror Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanmodules ls-entries LocalCPANMirror | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=LocalCPANMirror -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n or directly: % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::LocalCPANMirror -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::LocalCPANMirror::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2023, 2019 by perlancar .
