NAME

       CPAN::SQLite::Info - extract information from CPAN indices

VERSION

       version 0.220

DESCRIPTION

       This module extracts information from the CPAN indices
       $CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz and $CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.

       A "CPAN::SQLite::Info" object is created with

           my $info = CPAN::SQLite::Info->new(CPAN => $cpan);

       where $cpan specifies the top-level CPAN directory underneath which the index files are
       found. Calling

           $info->fetch_info();

       will result in the object being populated with 3 hash references:

       •  "$info->{dists}"

          This contains information on distributions. Keys of this hash reference are the
          distribution names, with the associated value being a hash reference with keys of

          "dist_vers" - the version of the CPAN file
          "dist_file" - the CPAN filename
          "cpanid" - the CPAN author id
          "dist_abs" - a description, if available
          "modules" - specifies the modules present in the distribution:
               for my $module (keys %{$info->{$distname}->{modules}}) {
                 print "Module: $module\n";
               }

       •  "$info->{mods}"

          This contains information on modules. Keys of this hash reference are the module names,
          with the associated values being a hash reference with keys of

          "dist_name" - the distribution name containing the module
          "mod_vers" - the version
          "mod_abs" - a description, if available
       •  "$info->{auths}"

          This contains information on CPAN authors. Keys of this hash reference are the CPAN
          ids, with the associated value being a hash reference with keys of

          "fullname" - the author's full name
          "email" - the author's email address
