DESCRIPTION

This plugin allows you to add distributions from a list of filenames or uris. The list is read from a configuration file containing one distribution name per line.

IMPLEMENTS

CPAN::Local::Role::Gather

ATTRIBUTES

list

Required. Path to the configuration file that contains the list of distributions. The configuration file must contain absolute paths or uris, unless "prefix" is specified.

prefix

Optional. String to prepend to each line in the configuration file. This is commonly the base uri of a CPAN mirror or the path to a local folder containing distributions. Note that the prefix is simply concatenated with each line in the configuration file, so be careful not to omit the trailing slash where needed.

cache

Optional. Directory where to download a remote distribution before adding it to the mirror. If a distribtuion from the configuartion file is already in the cache, it will not be downloaded again. Ignored when "local" is used.

local

Optional. Instructs the plugin that the distributions live in the local filesystem, so no attempt will be made to download or cache them.

authorid

Optional. Author id to use when injecting distributions from this list.
