NAME

CPAN::Search::Lite::PPM - extract ppm package information from repositories

DESCRIPTION

This module gets information on available ppm packages on remote repositories. The repositories searched are specified in $respositories of CPAN::Search::Lite::Util. Only those distributions whose names appear from CPAN::Search::Lite::Info are saved. After creating a CPAN::Search::Lite::PPM object through the new method and calling the fetch_info method, the information is available as:

  my $ppms = $ppm_obj->{ppms};
  for my $rep_id (keys %{$ppms}) {
    print "For repository with id = $rep_id:\n";
    for my $package (keys %{$ppms->{$id}}) {
      print << "END";

Package: $package
Version: $ppms->{$rep_id}->{$package}->{version}
Abstract: $ppms->{$rep_id}->{$package}->{abstract}

END
    }
  }
