= NAME

visitcpan - explore each distribution in a minicpan repository

= VERSION

This documentation refers to %%VERSION%%.

= SYNOPSIS

    $ visitcpan [OPTIONS] [PROGRAM]

    $ visitcpan [OPTIONS] -- [PROGRAM] [ARGS]

= DESCRIPTION

This program executes other programs against each distribution in a minicpan
repository.  Given a program to run, for each distribution archive in the
repository, it will:

* extract the distribution archive to a temporary directory 
* change to the temporary directory
* execute the user-specified program
* return to the original directory
* clean up the temporary directory

If no program to run is provided, {visitcpan} will instead produce a listing of
distribution files, one per line, that can be piped to other programs for
analysis.

To avoid conflicts between {visitcpan} options and arguments provided to
the program to run, use two dashes ('--') to separate minicpan options 
from other arguments.

By default, {visitcpan} will use a local minicpan repository as defined 
in a .minicpanrc file. 

= OPTIONS

 --append|-a        --append=dist -> append distname after ARGS
                    --append=path -> append tarball path after ARGS

 -e|-E              run next argument via 'perl -E'

 --help|-h          this usage info 

 --minicpan|-m      directory of a minicpan (defaults to local minicpan 
                    from CPAN::Mini config file)

 --output|-o        file to save output instead of sending to terminal

 --quiet|-q         silence warnings and suppress STDERR from tar

 --version|-V       visitcpan program version

 --                 indicates the end of options for visitcpan

= EXAMPLES

  # count number of distributiosn in the minicpan
  $ visitcpan | wc -l

  # get a listing of all distributions using Build.PL
  $ visitcpan -q -a dist -o listing.txt -e 'say shift if -f "Build.PL"'

  # run a program against each distribution
  $ visitcpan -q -- ack -a 'use version;'

= BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature using the CPAN Request Tracker.  
Bugs can be submitted through the web interface at 
[http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=App-CPAN-Mini-Visit]

When submitting a bug or request, please include a test-file or a patch 
to an existing test-file that illustrates the bug or desired feature.

= SEE ALSO

[CPAN::Mini::Extract] creates a minicpan with archives extracted.  Analyzing
an extracted tree will be faster than {visitcpan}, but the tree will take
up substantially more space on disk.
