DESCRIPTION
This simple shell script just updates (or creates) a miniature CPAN mirror as described in
CPAN::Mini.
CONFIGURATION FILE
By default, "minicpan" will read a configuration file to get configuration information.
The file is a simple set of names and values, as in the following example:
local: /home/rjbs/mirrors/minicpan/
remote: http://your.favorite.cpan/cpan/
exact_mirror: 1
"minicpan" tries to find a configuration file through the following process. It takes the
first defined it finds:
· Use the value specified by "-C" on the command line
· Use the value in the "CPAN_MINI_CONFIG" environment variable
· Use ~/.minicpanrc
· Use CPAN/Mini/minicpan.conf
If the selected file does not exist, "minicpan" does not keep looking.
You can override this process with a "config_file" method in your subclass.
See "CPAN::Mini" for a full listing of available options.
