NAME
Module::Packaged - Report upon packages of CPAN distributions
SYNOPSIS
use Module::Packages;
my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
# $dists is now:
# {
# cpan => '1.08',
# debian => '1.03',
# freebsd => '1.07',
# gentoo => '1.03',
# openbsd => '0.22',
# }
# meaning that Archive-Tar is at version 1.08 on CPAN but only at
# version 1.07 on FreeBSD, version 1.03 on Debian Gentoo and 0.22 on
# OpenBSDDESCRIPTION
CPAN consists of distributions. However, CPAN is not an isolated system - distributions are also packaged in other places, such as for operating systems. This module reports whether CPAN distributions are packaged for various operating systems, and which version they have.
Note: only CPAN, Debian, FreeBSD, Gentoo, and OpenBSD are currently supported. I want to support versions of PPM, and Redhat. Patches are welcome.
