CPAN::Uploader(3)

NAME
CPAN::Uploader - upload things to the CPAN

VERSION
version 0.103001

METHODS

  upload_file
  CPAN::Uploader->upload_file($file, \%arg);

  $uploader->upload_file($file);

Valid arguments are:

  user       - (required) your CPAN / PAUSE id
  password   - (required) your CPAN / PAUSE password
  subdir     - the directory (under your home directory) to upload to
  http_proxy - uri of the http proxy to use
  upload_uri - uri of the upload handler; usually the default (PAUSE) is right
  debug      - if set to true, spew lots more debugging output

This method attempts to actually upload the named file to the CPAN. It will raise an exception on error.

  new
  my $uploader = CPAN::Uploader->new(\%arg);

This method returns a new uploader. You probably don't need to worry about this method.

Valid arguments are the same as those to "upload_file".

  read_config_file
  my $config = CPAN::Uploader->read_config_file( $filename );

This reads the config file and returns a hashref of its contents that can be used as configuration for CPAN::Uploader.

If no filename is given, it looks for .pause in the user's home directory (from the env var "HOME", or the current directory if "HOME" isn't set).

  log
  $uploader->log($message);

This method logs the given string. The default behavior is to print it to the screen. The message should not end in a newline, as one will be added as needed.

  log_debug
This method behaves like "log", but only logs the message if the CPAN::Uploader is in debug mode.

ORIGIN
This code is mostly derived from "cpan-upload-http" by Brad Fitzpatrick, which in turn was based on "cpan-upload" by Neil Bowers. I (rjbs) didn't want to have to use a "system" call to run either of those, so I refactored the code into this module.
