NAME

mksite - Generate a web site for a CPAN module

SYNOPSIS

$ mksite My::Lovely::Module

DESCRIPTION

This program will automatically generate a web site for a CPAN module (actually, it's more accurate to say a CPAN distribution). It gets the information used to create the site from two sources:

• It uses the MetaCPAN API to get data about the distribution.

• It uses templates and other files that can be stored in the code repository for the distribution.

Note that the first of these items creates a tiny caveat as you can only use this module to create sites for distributions that the MetaCPAN API knows about - i.e. distributions that have been released to CPAN.

TODO

This documentation needs a lot of expansion. I'll be doing that over the next few weeks.
