DESCRIPTION

cpanf is a command line tool to find, index and download CPAN modules from fastest mirrors. It would be useful if you want to install modules before it's mirrored to the mirrors near you which usually takes a day or two.

This tool utilizes FriendFeed CPAN relatime bot (http://friendfeed.com/cpan) to search and query the updates and CPAN Testers mirror (http://cpan.cpantesters.org/) to download modules.
