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.
