NAME

URI::cpan::distfile - cpan:///distfile/AUTHOR/Dist-1.234.tar.gz

VERSION

version 1.009

SYNOPSIS

This URL refers to a file in an author directory on the CPAN, and expects the format AUTHOR/DISTFILE

PERL VERSION

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
