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.
