=== WHAT'S THIS ? This is a series of scripts developped for the article 'CPAN Patching with Git' that I wrote for the Winter 2008 edition (aka issue 5.1) of the The Perl Review[1]. The goal of those scripts is to make trivially easy to grab any distribution off CPAN, gitify its latest version, hack on it and send back patches to the maintainer. For now the only documentation is in the article, but I'll eventually inject some documentation in the scripts themselves (in the meantime, I recommend to subscribe to the TPR :-) ) `/anick, January 2009 [1] http://www.theperlreview.com/ === INSTALLATION To install the scripts and their supporting module, do $ perl ./Build.PL $ ./Build test $ sudo ./Build install or a variation thereof. If you run Build.PL interactively, it'll also ask you if you want to install the scripts alongside the Git commands for a tighter integration (Git will consider all the git-cpan-* commands as being legit Git sub-command, which means that shell completion and 'git ' type of commands will transparently work).
