How to read the ~/.cpan/Metadata fileby smile4me (Beadle) |
on Apr 12, 2016 at 02:25 UTC ( [id://1160177]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
smile4me has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi y'all, I'm looking for documentation on how to read the $HOME/.cpan/Metadata file. Is it only generated during a "cpan -a" autobundle action? What is the structure of the file?
So looking at the Metadata file:
I am assuming this is the database that "cpan" uses after interrogating my modules found in @INC, is that correct? How do I read this file? Thanks,
