Bug#736313: RFP: libcpan-sqlite-perl -- CPAN::SQLite - maintain and search a minimal CPAN database

[Matthew Hall <mhall@mhcomputing.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name     : libcpan-sqlite-perl
* Version          : 0.203
* Upstream Author  : Serguei Trouchelle <stro@cpan.org>
* URL              : http://search.cpan.org/~stro/CPAN-SQLite/
* License          : Same terms as Perl itself (Artistic + GPL)
* Programming Lang : Perl
* Description      : CPAN::SQLite - maintain and search a minimal CPAN database

This package is used for setting up, maintaining, and searching a CPAN 
database consisting of the information stored in the three main CPAN indices: 
$CPAN/modules/03modlist.data.gz, $CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz, and 
$CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.

It is also part of CPAN's FirstTime wizard, and thus used as part of CPAN 
itself:

CPAN Variable: use_sqlite

Description: CPAN::SQLite is a layer between the index files that are 
downloaded from the CPAN and CPAN.pm that speeds up metadata queries and 
reduces memory consumption of CPAN.pm considerably.

Therefore it would be great if it could be made available in Debian as well!

Thanks,
Matthew.
