NAME
CPAN::Mini::NoLargeFiles - Create a CPAN mirror excluding files that are too large
VERSION
This document describes version 0.02 of CPAN::Mini::NoLargeFiles (from Perl distribution CPAN-Mini-NoLargeFiles), released on 2015-01-13.
SYNOPSIS
By default files larger than 10MB will be skipped:
% minicpan -c CPAN::Mini::NoLargeFiles ...To specify size:
% MAX_FILE_SIZE=20000000 minicpan -c CPAN::Mini::NoLargeFiles ...DESCRIPTION
There are files uploaded to CPAN that are quite large (over 100MB). For those like me who are often on a limited mobile data plan, or using a miniscule-sized SSD, this CPAN::Mini subclass might be useful.
This is a thin wrapper for LWP::UserAgent::Patch::FilterMirrorMaxSize, so instead of:
% PERL5OPT="-MLWP::UserAgent::Patch::FilterMirrorMaxSize=-size,10485760,-verbose,1" minicpan ...you can just do:
% cpan -c CPAN::Mini::NoLargeFiles ...FAQ
How to mix with other subclasses (e.g. I also want to use CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion)
Use the patch directly instead of this subclass (see Description).
