12 # And then install it from the cpan shell
13 cpan> install LOCAL/myperlmodule.tar.gz

16 cpaninject is a small front-end application for the CPAN::Inject
17 module.
18
19 It takes any arbitrary Perl distribution tarball (open source or
20 otherwise) and injects it into the local CPAN file cache, smoothing
21 some metadata files to make it look as if it came from CPAN.
22
23 It makes use the officially blessed "Reserved Local CPAN Author" id
24 "LOCAL" as the author the distributions are added under.
25
26 To use the program, just run cpaninject mytarball.tar.gz to add it,
27 then the CPAN shell to install it (with full automatic recursive
28 dependency installation).
29
30 The key here being the recursive dependency installation, which you are
31 now able to do even for installing non-CPAN modules.
32
33 This simplifies the installation process a little, and makes things
34 easier on someone that just wants to install a single commercial or
35 non-CPAN Perl module that might have a dozen or more CPAN dependencies.
