Finding out if there is any broken prerequisites specified by one of your distributions [author]

To find out which prerequisites that your distributions specify but are currently not indexed (i.e. probably cannot be installed by users):

% lcpan author-deps YOURCPANID --broken --dont-uniquify

# Show dependencies that were added in the last 2 weeks
% lcpan author-rdeps YOURCPANID --user-author-isnt YOURCPANID --added-after '2 weeks ago'

# Show dependencies that were updated in the last 2 weeks
% lcpan author-rdeps YOURCPANID --user-author-isnt YOURCPANID --updated-after '2 weeks ago'

# Show dependencies that were not present before your last 'lcpan update'
% lcpan author-rdeps YOURCPANID --user-author-isnt YOURCPANID --added-in-last-update

QUERYING MODULES

Comparing version of installed modules vs local CPAN versions

% lcpan ver-cmp-installed
% lcpan ver-cmp-installed --older-than-db                ;# outdated modules (modules that need to be updated)
% lcpan ver-cmp-installed --older-than-db --exclude-core ;# noncore outdated modules (noncore modules that need to be updated)

The ver-cmp-installed subcommand is distributed in App::lcpan::CmdBundle::ver.

This can also be done using tools like cpan-outdated (from App::cpanoutdated) or cpan-outdated-coro (from App::cpanoutdated::coro).

To update outdated modules:

% lcpan-ver-cmp-installed --older-than-db | td select module | lcpanm -n

td is provided by App::td.

Listing recent modules

# Show modules that were added in the last 2 weeks
% lcpan mods -l --added-after '2 weeks ago'

# Show modules that were updated in the last 2 weeks
% lcpan mods -l --updated-after '2 weeks ago'

# Show modules that were not present before the last 'lcpan update'
% lcpan mods -l --added-in-last-update
