This plugin allows you to add distributions from a list of filenames or uris. The list is read from a configuration file containing one distribution name per line.
Required. Path to the configuration file that contains the list of distributions. The configuration file must contain absolute paths or uris, unless "prefix" is specified.
Optional. String to prepend to each line in the configuration file. This is commonly the base uri of a CPAN mirror or the path to a local folder containing distributions. Note that the prefix is simply concatenated with each line in the configuration file, so be careful not to omit the trailing slash where needed.
Optional. Directory where to download a remote distribution before adding it to the mirror. If a distribtuion from the configuartion file is already in the cache, it will not be downloaded again. Ignored when "local" is used.
Optional. Instructs the plugin that the distributions live in the local filesystem, so no attempt will be made to download or cache them.
Optional. Author id to use when injecting distributions from this list.
