Menlo:...MetaDB(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Menlo::Index::MetaDB — the search index that's out here doing its thing via CPAN MetaDB ✨

So yeah bestie, this page is straight outta the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, filed under Menlo:...MetaDB(3pm), and it's lowkey one of the most straightforward little modules you'll ever meet 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's literally all you gotta do:

  use CPAN::Common::Index::MetaDB;

  $index = CPAN::Common::Index::MetaDB->new;

  $index->search_packages({ package => "Moose" });
  $index->search_packages({ package => "Moose", version_range => ">= 2.0" });

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module implements a CPAN::Common::Index that searches for packages against the same CPAN MetaDB API used by cpanminus. no cap 🧚

And now for the part where I have to be honest with you: there is no support for advanced package queries, and there's no searching authors either. 🙈 It just takes a package name and returns the corresponding version and distribution. That's the whole job. It's giving "does one thing and does it well" energy and honestly? iconic. 👑

fr fr, don't come at it expecting fancy query powers — it's a one-trick pony and the trick is very cute.
