CPANINJECT(1p)

💖 CPANINJECT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to cpaninject — a lil front-end app from the User Contributed Perl Documentation squad, and it does exactly one iconic thing: it injects a distribution for installation via the CPAN shell. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cpaninject — Inject a distribution for installation via the CPAN shell 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

# Add the distribution
cpaninject myperlmodule.tar.gz

# And then install it from the cpan shell
cpan> install LOCAL/myperlmodule.tar.gz

like, that's it. two steps. we love a low-effort slay. 💅

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

cpaninject is a small front-end application for the CPAN::Inject module. it's giving "tiny wrapper, big energy". ✨

It takes any arbitrary Perl distribution tarball (open source or otherwise, no judgement, we don't ask questions 🫶) and injects it into the local CPAN file cache, smoothing some metadata files to make it look as if it came from CPAN. gaslight gatekeep girlboss, but for metadata. 😭

It makes use the officially blessed "Reserved Local CPAN Author" id LOCAL as the author the distributions are added under. that's the vibe check it passes. 👑

To use the program, just run cpaninject mytarball.tar.gz to add it, then the CPAN shell to install it (with full automatic recursive dependency installation). 🔥

The key here being the recursive dependency installation, which you are now able to do even for installing non-CPAN modules. that part is literally the main character of this whole manpage, ngl.

This simplifies the installation process a little, and makes things easier on someone that just wants to install a single commercial or non-CPAN Perl module that might have a dozen or more CPAN dependencies. like, a dozen-plus dependencies? she said "handled" 💅✨
