NAME

cpanstats-reparse - script to reparse an NNTP article.

SYNOPSIS

perl cpanstats-reparse                        \
  --config=<file>                             \
  [--check|c] [--localonly|l]                 \
  ( [--id=<nntpid>] | [--file=<filename>] )   \
  [--exclude|x=<fields>]

DESCRIPTION

This program is used to reparse an NNTP article, which may have been incorrectly parsed by the cpanstats, and should feature in the stats for the CPAN Testers Statistics database.

Note that the "check" option will only go through the motions and will not update the local database, while the "localonly" option will ensure only the local articles.db database is used to reparse, no NNTP lookup is used.

The ability to ignore field checking for specific fields is enabled via the use of the exclude option. Using a comma separated list you may enter one or more of the fields 'dist', 'version', 'from', 'perl' and 'platform'. This is useful for parsing a faulty report and then using cpanstats-update to amend the appropriate field to the correct value.

get_list

Returns the list of NNTP ids from the named file.

init_options

Determine command line options and initialise any defaults.
