CPAN::...ssCheck(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

CPAN::Audit::Freshness — bestie, this one checks the freshness of CPAN::Audit::DB. That's it. That's the whole job. 🎀

(It's a Perl module manpage, section 3pm, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe. Hi.)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use CPAN::Audit::Freshness;

# from the command-line, with default threshold
% perl -MCPAN::Audit::Freshness cpan-audit

# from the command-line, with specified threshold of 5 days
% perl -MCPAN::Audit::Freshness=5 cpan-audit
% env CPAN_AUDIT_FRESH_DAYS=30 perl -MCPAN::Audit::Freshness cpan-audit

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the moment this module gets loaded, it does a little vibe check and yells at you with a warning if it thinks the version of CPANSA::DB is too old. How does it know? It takes the version of that module — which is date-based — and compares it against the current time. So simple, so iconic. 👑

The default threshold is 30 days, but no worries, you can totally set the value of CPAN_AUDIT_FRESH_DAYS yourself if 30 days is not your era. 💅

Real talk though: this used to check the deprecated CPAN::Audit::DB module, but there is literally no version of that module that is fresh where CPANSA::DB isn't present. So like, that ship has sailed. 🛳️

And that's the whole thing. There is no other functionality for this module. It's giving one-job-wonder and honestly? We respect it. Periodt. 💀

⚠️ Heads up bestie: this module does not do anything else. Don't go looking for more. There is no more.

🙈 POD ERRORS 🙈

Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below:

Around line 41:

• Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in '©'. Assuming UTF-8

(not the © catching a stray error like that 😭 — it's fine, the parser just assumed UTF-8 and moved on.)

and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs ✨ This was CPAN::...ssCheck(3pm) from perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-07-05 — mwah, go check your DB freshness, ily 🎀💖
