 CPAN::API::HOWTO - a recipe book for programming with CPAN.pm

RREECCIIPPEESS #

 All of these recipes assume that you have put "use CPAN" at the top of
 your program.

WWhhaatt ddiissttrriibbuuttiioonn ccoonnttaaiinnss aa ppaarrttiiccuullaarr mmoodduullee?? 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".

WWhhaatt mmoodduulleess ddooeess aa ppaarrttiiccuullaarr ddiissttrriibbuuttiioonn ccoonnttaaiinn?? 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.
