NAME
Acme::CPANModules::LocalCPANIndex - List of modules/tools to create an
index against local CPAN mirror
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of
Acme::CPANModules::LocalCPANIndex (from Perl distribution
Acme-CPANModules-LocalCPANIndex), released on 2023-10-29.
DESCRIPTION
Since CPAN repository index is just a couple of text files (currently:
list of authors in "authors/01mailrc.txt.gz" and list of packages in
"modules/02packages.details.txt.gz"), to perform more complex or
detailed queries additional index is often desired. The following
modules accomplish that.
ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES
App::lcpan
Author: PERLANCAR <https://metacpan.org/author/PERLANCAR>
In addition to downloading a CPAN mini mirror (using CPAN::Mini),
this utility also indexes the package list and distribution metadata
into a SQLite database so you can perform various queries, like list
of modules/distributions/scripts of a CPAN author, or related
modules using cross-mention information on modules' PODs, or various
rankings.
CPAN::SQLite
Author: STRO <https://metacpan.org/author/STRO>
This module parses the two CPAN text file indexes
("authors/01mailrc.txt.gz" and "modules/02packages.details.txt.gz")
and puts the information into a SQLite database. This lets you
perform queries more quickly without reparsing the text files each
time. But it does not parse distribution metadata so you don't get
additional querying capability like dependencies.
FAQ
What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list
of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to
categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more
details.
What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation,
you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules
script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n LocalCPANIndex
Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules
distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries LocalCPANIndex | cpanm -n
or Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=LocalCPANIndex -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
or directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::LocalCPANIndex -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::LocalCPANIndex::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful
result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See
App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules"
are found.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
