modulereview liz <P> This is not a module, it's a script. <P> After going through most of my modules on CPAN to make sure that they will work on the soon to be Perl 5.8.1, I again realized that the low profile, but <B>very</B> handy [http://search.cpan.org/author/NEILB/cpan-upload-2.2/cpan-upload|cpan-upload] utility script is a must-have for a module author. <P> What does it do? Well, not a lot, but it does it quickly and quietly. It uploads your files to CPAN as simple as: <pre> cpan-upload Your-Module-1.07.tar.gz </pre> You get your confirmation mails just the way as you would normally if you would upload files to CPAN "manually". <P> What do you need to do? Well, download it, then: <pre> perl Makefile.PL make make test make install </pre> then, in you home directory, create a file named ".pause" that you can only read and write to (-rw------), and put your configuration information in there. This is usually very simple, such as: <pre> user CPANID password xyuolskhj mailto your@address.tld </pre> and voila, you're set! <P> [http://search.cpan.org/author/NEILB/|Neil Bowers] has made a very nice utility script that is well documented. Kudo's to Neil! <P> Liz Upload one or more files to CPAN, using PAUSE A <B>must have</B> for every module author
