NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell::Default - the default CPANPLUS shell

SYNOPSIS

           ### loading the shell:
           $ cpanp                     # run 'cpanp' from the command line
           $ perl -MCPANPLUS -eshell   # load the shell from the command line

           use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Default];        # load this shell via the API
                                                   # always done via CPANPLUS::Shell

           my $ui = CPANPLUS::Shell->new;
           $ui->shell;                             # run the shell
           $ui->dispatch_on_input( input => 'x');  # update the source using the
                                                   # dispatch method

           ### when in the shell:
           ### Note that all commands can also take options.
           ### Look at their underlying CPANPLUS::Backend methods to see
           ### what options those are.
