DESCRIPTION

cpanmetrics is the script version of the CPAN::Metrics module, downloading a minicpan mirror, expanding out the default set of Perl files from the archives, and processing the metrics data for all installed Perl::Metrics plugins.

Settings Used

The minicpan mirror will be checked out underneath a .minicpan directory, created in your home directory.

The archives will be extracted underneath a .cpanmetrics directory, create in your home directory, with the root directory for each archive located at the same name as the relevant archive in the .minicpan directory.

And finally, the metrics SQLite database will be created at .cpanmetrics/metrics.sqlite.
