CPAN::Admin(3)        User Contributed Perl Documentation       CPAN::Admin(3)
NAME
        CPAN::Admin - A CPAN Shell for CPAN admins
SYNOPSIS
        perl -MCPAN::Admin -e shell
STATUS
       Note: this module is currently not maintained. If you need it and fix
       it for your needs, please submit patches.
DESCRIPTION
       CPAN::Admin is a subclass of CPAN that adds the commands "register" and
       "modsearch" to the CPAN shell.
       "register" calls "get" on the named module, assembles a couple of
       informations (description, language), and calls Netscape with the
       -remote argument so that a form is filled with all the assembled
       informations and the registration can be performed with a single click.
       If the command line has more than one argument, register does not run a
       "get", instead it interprets the rest of the line as DSLI status,
       description, and userid and sends them to netscape such that the form
       is again mostly filled and can be edited or confirmed with a single
       click. CPAN::Admin never performs the submission click for you, it is
       only intended to fill in the form on PAUSE and leave the confirmation
       to you.
       "modsearch" simply passes the arguments to the search engine for the
       modules AT perl.org mailing list at http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de where all
       registration requests are stored. It does so in the same way as
       register, namely with the "netscape -remote" command.
       An experimental feature has also been added, namely to color already
       registered modules in listings. If you have Term::ANSIColor installed,
       the u, r, and m commands will show already registered modules in green.
PREREQISITES
       URI::Escape, netscape browser available in the path, netscape must
       understand the -remote switch (as far as I know, this is only available
       on UNIX); coloring of registered modules is only available if
       Term::ANSIColor is installed.
