minicpan-fromlist [options] Options -l LOCAL - where is the local minicpan? (required) -r REMOTE - where is the remote cpan mirror? (required) -d 0### - permissions (numeric) to use when creating directories -q - run in quiet mode (don't print status)
This simple shell script just updates (or creates) a miniature CPAN mirror as described in CPAN::Mini::FromList.
The local and remote mirror locations are (for now) hardcoded and should be updated before running this script for the first time.
minicpan-fromlist - uses CPAN::Mini::FromList to create or update a local mirror
minicpan will read the file ~/.minicpanrc to get configuration information. The file is a simple set of names and values, as in the following example:
minicpan
~/.minicpanrc
local: /home/rjbs/mirrors/minicpan/ local_fromlist: /home/domm/cpants/fake_cpan remote: http://your.favorite.cpan/cpan/ exact_mirror: 1
Please note that local will not be used by minicpan_fromlist. Use local_fromlist instead.
local
local_fromlist
