NAME

cpan-whois - display details of one or more CPAN authors

SYNOPSIS

cpan-whois <pause-id> [id2 .. idN]

DESCRIPTION

cpan-whois takes one or more PAUSE usernames and displays the public information known for the account(s). By default just the name and email address are displayed:

% cpan-whois puck
PUCK: Andrew Ruthven <puck@cpan.org>

If the user's name includes non-ASCII characters, then PAUSE has an ASCII Name field as well. If that is set for the user, then it will be displayed as well:

% cpan-whois kxj
KXJ: Jing Kang - 康 小靖 (Jing Kang - Kang Xiao Jing) <kxj@cpan.org>

In a future version, I'll add a -a option, to display other information. Feel free to submit a pull request for that :-)
