NAME
cpan2dist - The CPANPLUS distribution creator
DESCRIPTION
This script will create
distributions of "CPAN" modules of the format you specify,
including its prerequisites. These packages can then be installed
using the corresponding package manager for the format.
Note, you can also do this interactively from the default shell,
"CPANPLUS::Shell::Default". See the
"CPANPLUS::Dist" documentation, as well as the
documentation of your format of choice for any format specific
documentation.
USAGE
Built-In Filter Lists
Some modules
you'd rather not package. Some because they are part of core-perl
and you dont want a new package. Some because they won't build on
your system. Some because your package manager of choice already
packages them for you.
There may be a myriad of reasons. You can use the
"--ignore" and "--ban" options for this, but we
provide some built-in lists that catch common cases. You can use
these built-in lists if you like, or supply your own if need be.
Built-In Ignore List
You can use this
list of regexes to ignore modules matching to be listed as
prerequisites of a package. Particulaly useful if they are bundled
with core-perl anyway and they have known issues building.
Toggle it by supplying the "--default-ignorelist"
option.
Built-In Ban list
You can use this
list of regexes to disable building of these modules altogether.
Toggle it by supplying the "--default-banlist" option.
