NAME

       CPAN::Mini::Inject - Inject modules into a CPAN::Mini mirror.

SYNOPSIS

       If you're not going to customize the way CPAN::Mini::Inject works you probably want to look at the mcpani
       command instead.

           use CPAN::Mini::Inject;

           $mcpi=CPAN::Mini::Inject->new;
           $mcpi->parsecfg('t/.mcpani/config');

           $mcpi->add( module   => 'CPAN::Mini::Inject',
                       authorid => 'SSORICHE',
                       version  => ' 0.01',
                       file     => 'mymodules/CPAN-Mini-Inject-0.01.tar.gz' )

           $mcpi->writelist;
           $mcpi->update_mirror;
           $mcpi->inject;

DESCRIPTION

       CPAN::Mini::Inject uses CPAN::Mini to build or update a local CPAN mirror from a remote one.  It adds two
       extra features:

       1. an additional repository of distribution files and related information (author and module versions),
       separate from the local and remote mirrors, to which you can add your own distribution files.

       2. the ability to inject the distribution files from your repository into a local CPAN mirror.

METHODS

Each method in CPAN::Mini::Inject returns a CPAN::Mini::Inject object which allows method chaining. For
example:

my $mcpi=CPAN::Mini::Inject->new;
$mcpi->parsecfg
->update_mirror
->inject;

A "CPAN::Mini::Inject" ISA CPAN::Mini. Refer to the documentation for that module for details of the
interface "CPAN::Mini::Inject" inherits from it.

"new"
Create a new CPAN::Mini::Inject object.

config_class( [CLASS] )
Returns the name of the class handling the configuration.

With an argument, it sets the name of the class to handle the config. To use that, you'll have to
call it before you load the configuration.

"config"
Returns the configuration object. This object should be from the class returned by "config_class"
unless you've done something weird.

loadcfg( [FILENAME] )
This is a bridge to CPAN::Mini::Inject::Config's loadconfig. It sets the filename for the
configuration, or uses one of the defaults.

parsecfg()
This is a bridge to CPAN::Mini::Inject::Config's parseconfig.

site( [SITE] )
Returns the CPAN site that CPAN::Mini::Inject chose from the list specified in the "remote"
directive.

"testremote"
Test each site listed in the remote parameter of the config file by performing a get on each site in
order for authors/01mailrc.txt.gz. The first site to respond successfully is set as the instance
variable site.

print "$mcpi->{site}\n"; # ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN

"testremote" accepts an optional parameter to enable verbose mode.

"update_mirror"
This is a subclass of CPAN::Mini.

"add"
Add a new module to the repository. The add method copies the module file into the repository with
the same structure as a CPAN site. For example CPAN-Mini-Inject-0.01.tar.gz is copied to
MYCPAN/authors/id/S/SS/SSORICHE. add creates the required directory structure below the repository.

Packages found in the distribution will be added to the module list (for example both
"CPAN::Mini::Inject" and "CPAN::Mini::Inject::Config" will be added to the
modules/02packages.details.txt.gz file).

Packages will be looked for in the "provides" key of the META file if present, otherwise the files in
the dist will be searched. See Dist::Metadata for more information.

• module

The name of the module to add. The distribution file will be searched for modules but you can
specify the main one explicitly.

• authorid

CPAN author id. This does not have to be a real author id.

• version

The modules version number. Module names and versions will be determined, but you can specify
one explicitly.

• file

The tar.gz of the module.

add( module => 'Module::Name',
authorid => 'AUTHOR',
version => 0.01,
file => './Module-Name-0.01.tar.gz' );

"added_modules"
Returns a list of hash references describing the modules added by this instance. Each hashref will
contain "file", "authorid", and "modules". The "modules" entry is a hashref of module names and
versions included in the "file".

The list is cumulative. There will be one entry for each time "add" was called.

This functionality is mostly provided for the included mcpani script to be able to verbosely print
all the modules added.

"inject"
Insert modules from the repository into the local CPAN::Mini mirror. inject copies each module into
the appropriate directory in the CPAN::Mini mirror and updates the CHECKSUMS file.

Passing a value to "inject" enables verbose mode, which lists each module as it's injected.

"updpackages"
Update the CPAN::Mini mirror's modules/02packages.details.txt.gz with the injected module
information.

"updauthors"
Update the CPAN::Mini mirror's authors/01mailrc.txt.gz with stub information should the author not
actually exist on CPAN

"readlist"
Load the repository's modulelist.

"writelist"
Write to the repository modulelist.
