Bug#576215: ITP: cpan -- All possible perl modules you could ever need
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>
* Package name : cpan
Version : 20100401
Upstream Author : Many
* URL : http://www.cpan.org/
* License : Multiple
Programming Lang: C, Perl
Description : All possible perl modules you could ever need
This package includes the whole contents of the CPAN archive. This way,
every last bit of each useless Perl module that has ever been written
will be available in Debian.
This is expected to cut the traffic on WNPP in half.
The package will be automatically updated every week from the CPAN
repository. This way, it will never migrate to testing and will not be
part of a stable release. This should keep a lot of perl applications
away, which will ease the job of the QA team.
