SYNOPSIS See lcpan script. HISTORY This application began as CPAN::SQLite::CPANMeta, an extension of CPAN::SQLite. CPAN::SQLite parses 02packages.details.txt.gz and 01mailrc.txt.gz and puts the parse result into a SQLite database. CPAN::SQLite::CPANMeta parses the META.json/META.yml files in individual release files and adds it to the SQLite database. In order to simplify things for the users (one-step indexing) and get more freedom in database schema, lcpan skips using CPAN::SQLite and creates its own SQLite database. It also parses 02packages.details.txt.gz but does not parse distribution names from it but instead uses META.json and META.yml files extracted from the release files. If no META.* files exist, then it will use the module name.
