RECIPES

9       All of these recipes assume that you have put "use CPAN" at the top of
10       your program.
11
12   What distribution contains a particular module?
13           my $distribution = CPAN::Shell->expand(
14               "Module", "Data::UUID"
15           )->distribution()->pretty_id();
16
17       This returns a string of the form "AUTHORID/TARBALL".  If you want the
18       full path and filename to this distribution on a CPAN mirror, then it
19       is ".../authors/id/A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL".
20
21   What modules does a particular distribution contain?
22           CPAN::Index->reload();
23           my @modules = CPAN::Shell->expand(
24               "Distribution", "JHI/Graph-0.83.tar.gz"
25           )->containsmods();
26
27       You may also refer to a distribution in the form A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL.
