CPAN::Source fetch, parse, aggregate all CPAN source list for you.

Currently CPAN::Source supports 4 files from CPAN mirror. (00whois.xml, contains cpan author information, 01mailrc.txt contains author emails, 02packages.details.txt contains package information, 03modlist contains distribution status)

CPAN::Source aggregate those data, and information can be easily retrieved.

The distribution info is from CPAN::DistnameInfo.

SYNOPSIS

my $source = CPAN::Source->new(  
    cache_path => '.cache',
    cache_expiry => '7 days',
    mirror => 'http://cpan.nctu.edu.tw',
    source_mirror => 'http://cpansearch.perl.org'
);

$source->prepare;   # use LWP::UserAgent to fetch all source list files ...

# 00whois.xml
# 01mailrc
# 02packages.details.txt
# 03modlist

$source->dists;  # all dist information
$source->authors;  # all author information

for my $dist ( @{ $source->dists } ) {

}

for my $author ( @{ $source->authors ) {

}

for my $package ( @{ $source->packages } ) {

}

$source->packages;      # parsed package data from 02packages.details.txt.gz
$source->modlist;       # parsed package data from 03modlist.data.gz
$source->mailrc;        # parsed mailrc data  from 01mailrc.txt.gz



my $dist = $source->dist('Moose');
my $distname = $dist->name;
my $distvname = $dist->version_name;
my $version = $dist->version;  # attributes from CPAN::DistnameInfo
my $meta_data = $dist->fetch_meta();

$meta_data->{abstract};
$meta_data->{version};
$meta_data->{resources}->{bugtracker};
$meta_data->{resources}->{repository};

my $readme = $dist->fetch_readme;
my $changes = $dist->fetch_changes;



my $pkg = $source->package( 'Moose' );
my $pm_content = $pkg->fetch_pm();



my $mirror_server_timestamp = $source->stamp;  # DateTime object
