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. SEE ALSO
