NAME

6       cpan2dist - The CPANPLUS distribution creator
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This script will create distributions of "CPAN" modules of the format
10       you specify, including its prerequisites. These packages can then be
11       installed using the corresponding package manager for the format.
12
13       Note, you can also do this interactively from the default shell, "CPAN‐
14       PLUS::Shell::Default". See the "CPANPLUS::Dist" documentation, as well
15       as the documentation of your format of choice for any format specific
16       documentation.

USAGE

Built-In Filter Lists
20       Some modules you'd rather not package. Some because they are part of
21       core-perl and you dont want a new package.  Some because they won't
22       build on your system. Some because your package manager of choice
23       already packages them for you.
24
25       There may be a myriad of reasons. You can use the "--ignore" and
26       "--ban" options for this, but we provide some built-in lists that catch
27       common cases. You can use these built-in lists if you like, or supply
28       your own if need be.
29
30       Built-In Ignore List
31
32       You can use this list of regexes to ignore modules matching to be
33       listed as prerequisites of a package. Particulaly useful if they are
34       bundled with core-perl anyway and they have known issues building.
35
36       Toggle it by supplying the "--default-ignorelist" option.
37
38       Built-In Ban list
39
40       You can use this list of regexes to disable building of these modules
41       altogether.
42
43       Toggle it by supplying the "--default-banlist" option.
