cpan.pl - example shell application
This script demonstrates how to wrap a module like CPAN.pm with a custom Zoidberg shell. The code is the documentation.
This script is for the sake of demonstration only; if you want to use CPAN from within a Zoidberg shell use the CPAN plugin, which provides better tab completion. To enter the cpan shell from zoid just type mode cpan, use mode - to return to the default mode.
mode cpan
mode -
