NAME

CPAN::API::HOWTO - a recipe book for programming with CPAN.pm

RECIPES

All of these recipes assume that you have put ``use CPAN'' at the top of your program.

What distribution contains a particular module?

     my $distribution = CPAN::Shell->expand(
         "Module", "Data::UUID"
     )->distribution()->pretty_id();
 
 

This returns a string of the form ``AUTHORID/TARBALL''. If you want the full path and filename to this distribution on a CPAN mirror, then it is ".../authors/id/A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL".

What modules does a particular distribution contain?

     CPAN::Index->reload();
     my @modules = CPAN::Shell->expand(
         "Distribution", "JHI/Graph-0.83.tar.gz"
     )->containsmods();
 
 

You may also refer to a distribution in the form A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL.
