NAME

addresses.pl - helper script to map tester addresses to real people.

SYNOPSIS

perl addresses.pl \
      [--verbose|v] --config|c=<file> \
      ( [--help|h] \
      | [--update] \
      | [--reindex] [--lastid=<num>] \
      | [--backup] \
      | [--mailrc|m=<file>] [--month=<string>] [--match] ) \
      [--logfile=<file>] [--logclean=(0|1)]

DESCRIPTION

Using the cpanstats database, this program can be used to update, reindex, backup and search the tester address tables.

When searching, the program tries to match unmatched tester addresses to either a cpan author or an already known tester. For the remaining addresses, an attempt at pattern matching is made to try and identify similar addresses in the hope they can be manually identified.
