cpan-upload v2.0 This is a script for uploading one or more distributions to CPAN using PAUSE, the Perl Authors Upload SErver. For example, to upload a previous version of this script's distribution, I ran: % cpan-upload -verbose cpan-upload-1.06.tar.gz The upload happens in two steps: * first we ftp the file(s) to the upload ftp site * we POST a message to the PAUSE web site to register the uploads Before using the script you must register with PAUSE to get a username and password. See the following for more details: http://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html To install this script, you should just have to run the following: % perl Makefile.PL % make install The script is fully documented using pod. Once installed you should get a man page. It also supports two informational switches: -help display a short help message describing command-line options -doc display the complete pod documentation for cpan-upload The script requires several modules from CPAN. You can get the latest version via the CPAN multiplexor at http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ What Where AppConfig::Std $CPAN/authors/id/NEILB/AppConfig-Std-.tar.gz AppConfig $CPAN/authors/id/ABW/ Pod::Usage In the PodParser distribition Net::FTP in the libnet distribution LWP $CPAN/modules/by-module/LWP/ Term::ReadKey $CPAN/modules/by-module/Term/ Thanks to Andreas for his help in getting this to talk nicely to PAUSE. I'd be happy to hear of any suggestions for improving this script. Neil Bowers -- $Id: README,v 2.0 2002/01/29 17:19:13 neilb Exp $
