NAME CPAN::Checksums - Write a CHECKSUMS file for a directory as on CPAN SYNOPSIS use CPAN::Checksums qw(updatedir); my $success = updatedir($directory); DESCRIPTION updatedir takes a directory name as argument and writes a CHECKSUMS file in that directory unless a previously written CHECKSUMS file is there that is still valid. Returns 2 if a new CHECKSUMS file has been written, 1 if a valid CHECKSUMS file is already there, otherwise dies. Setting the global variable $CAUTION causes updatedir to report changes of files in the attributes "size", "mtime", "md5", or "md5-ungz" to STDERR.
