NAME

cpm - a fast CPAN module installer

SYNOPSIS

# install modules into local/
> cpm install Module1 Module2 ...

# install modules with verbose messages
> cpm install -v Module

# from cpanfile (with cpanfile.snapshot if any)
> cpm install

# install module into current @INC instead of local/
> cpm install -g Module

# read modules from STDIN by specifying "-" as an argument
> echo Module1 Module2 | cpm install -

# prefer TRIAL release
> cpm install --dev Moose

# install modules as if version of your perl is 5.8.5
# so that modules which are not core in 5.8.5 will be installed
> cpm install --target-perl 5.8.5

# resolve distribution names from DARKPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
# and fetch distibutions from DARKPAN/authors/id/...
> cpm install --resolver 02packages,http://example.com/darkpan Your::Module
> cpm install --resolver 02packages,file:///path/to/darkpan    Your::Module

# use darkpan first, and if it fails, use metadb and normal CPAN
> cpm install --resolver 02packages,http://example.com/darkpan --resolver metadb Your::Module

# specify types/phases in cpanfile by "--with-*" and "--without-*" options
> cpm install --with-recommends --without-test
