💖 CPAN::...:Mirror(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the module it's serving is called CPAN::Common::Index::Mirror. Let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

CPAN::Common::Index::Mirror — search an index via CPAN mirror flatfiles 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.010 ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the vibe, copy-paste ready:

use CPAN::Common::Index::Mirror;

# default mirror is http://www.cpan.org/
$index = CPAN::Common::Index::Mirror->new;

# custom mirror
$index = CPAN::Common::Index::Mirror->new(
  { mirror => "http://cpan.cpantesters.org" }
);

no cap, that's literally it 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So this module implements a CPAN::Common::Index that goes and retrieves and searches two little index files: 02packages.details.txt and 01mailrc.txt. Those are the flatfiles, iykyk 📚✨

The default mirror is <http://www.cpan.org/>. Bestie, this one is a globally balanced fast mirror and it's a great choice if you don't have a local fast mirror of your own. Main character mirror energy fr fr 👑

🌈 ATTRIBUTES 🌈

🦋 mirror

URI to a CPAN mirror. Defaults to "http://www.cpan.org/". 💖

🍓 cache

Path to a local directory where the copies of the source indices get stored. If you don't specify one, it defaults to a temporary directory. So like, it'll find somewhere to crash, don't stress 🙈✨
