NAME
parinstallppd - Install PPD/PPM packages using PAR
SYNOPSIS
parinstallppd --help
parinstallppd [-v ...] -u PPD-URI-OR-FILE
DESCRIPTION
This script converts packages for the Perl Package Manager which is specific to ActiveState's perl distributions to .par files and installs those using PAR::Dist.
It works much the same way as the ppd2par tool but with an additional installation step after the conversion.
Parameters
-u --uri
Set the place to fetch the .ppd file from. Can be an URL
(http://..., https://..., ftp://...) or a local file.
-v --verbose
Sets the verbose mode.
--sa --selectarch
Regexp for selecting the implementation based on architecture.
Defaults to the currently running architecture.
--sp --selectperl
Regexp for selecting the implementation based on perl version.
Defaults to the currently running perl version (e.g. 5.8.8) and falls
back to the main version (e.g. 5.8) and then other sub-versions
(e.g. 5.8.7)SEE ALSO
This tool is implemented using the PAR::Dist::InstallPPD module. Please refer to that module's documentation for details on how this all works.
