DESCRIPTION

16       CPAN::Admin is a subclass of CPAN that adds the commands "register" and
17       "modsearch" to the CPAN shell.
18
19       "register" calls "get" on the named module, assembles a couple of
20       informations (description, language), and calls Netscape with the
21       -remote argument so that a form is filled with all the assembled
22       informations and the registration can be performed with a single click.
23       If the command line has more than one argument, register does not run a
24       "get", instead it interprets the rest of the line as DSLI status,
25       description, and userid and sends them to netscape such that the form
26       is again mostly filled and can be edited or confirmed with a single
27       click. CPAN::Admin never performs the submission click for you, it is
28       only intended to fill in the form on PAUSE and leave the confirmation
29       to you.
30
31       "modsearch" simply passes the arguments to the search engine for the
32       modules@perl.org mailing list at <http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de> where all
33       registration requests are stored. It does so in the same way as
34       register, namely with the "netscape -remote" command.
35
36       An experimental feature has also been added, namely to color already
37       registered modules in listings. If you have Term::ANSIColor installed,
38       the u, r, and m commands will show already registered modules in green.

PREREQUISITES

41       URI::Escape, a browser available in the path, the browser must
42       understand the -remote switch (as far as I know, this is only available
43       on UNIX); coloring of registered modules is only available if
44       Term::ANSIColor is installed.
