NAME
CPAN::API::HOWTO - a recipe book for programming with CPAN.pm
RECIPES
All of these recipes assume that you have put "use CPAN" at the top of
your program.
What distribution contains a particular module?
my $distribution = CPAN::Shell->expand(
"Module", "Data::UUID"
)->distribution()->pretty_id();
This returns a string of the form "AUTHORID/TARBALL". If you want the
full path and filename to this distribution on a CPAN mirror, then it
is ".../authors/id/A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL".
What modules does a particular distribution contain?
CPAN::Index->reload();
my @modules = CPAN::Shell->expand(
"Distribution", "JHI/Graph-0.83.tar.gz"
)->containsmods();
You may also refer to a distribution in the form A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL.
