When using CPAN for the first time, a number of questions are prompted to the user, thereby halting the process.

DESCRIPTION

       This simple shell script just updates (or creates) a miniature CPAN mirror as described in CPAN::Mini.

CONFIGURATION FILE

       By default, "minicpan" will read a configuration file to get configuration information.	The file is a simple set of names and values, as
       in the following example:

	local:	/home/rjbs/mirrors/minicpan/
	remote: http://your.favorite.cpan/cpan/
	exact_mirror: 1

       "minicpan" tries to find a configuration file through the following process.  It takes the first defined it finds:

       o   Use the value specified by "-C" on the command line

       o   Use the value in the "CPAN_MINI_CONFIG" environment variable

       o   Use ~/.minicpanrc

       o   Use CPAN/Mini/minicpan.conf

       If the selected file does not exist, "minicpan" does not keep looking.

       You can override this process with a "config_file" method in your subclass.

       See "CPAN::Mini" for a full listing of available options.

TO DO

       Improve command-line options.
