💖 CPAN2DOAP 💖

okay bestie so the manual name is cpan2doap and the whole point of it is generating DOAP data from a CPAN distribution's root directory. that's the vibe. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

cpan2doap — generate DOAP data from a CPAN distribution's root directory 🦋

✨ SYNPOSIS ✨

cpan2doap [options]

literally that's it. no positional args, no chaos, just vibes and flags 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the cpan2doap command generates DOAP data — in either RDF/XML or Turtle serialization — from the META.json and Changes files that are, like, often found in a CPAN distribution's root directory. that's the whole assignment. no cap. 🎀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --meta-file=F, -m F — the input file name, and it has to conform to CPAN::Meta::Spec. defaults to META.json. 🌸
  • --changes-file=F, -c F — the input file name, and this one has to conform to CPAN::Changes::Spec. defaults to Changes. ✨
  • --output-file=F, -o F — the file name for output. defaults to doap.rdf. 💖
  • --output-format=X — the output format, bestie. one of xml, ttl or auto. 👑
  • --help, --usage, -h — shows help. (she's helpful, she's iconic) 🫶
  • --version, -V — show version information. ⭐

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

for many distributions, just accepting the defaults is adequate — like, she already knows what you want:

cpan2doap

for older distributions which use META.yml instead of META.json:

cpan2doap -m META.yml

to output data in Turtle format (which is less verbose than RDF/XML, and honestly? a slay):

cpan2doap -o doap.ttl

✨ BUGS ✨
