NAME
cpan-upload - upload a distribution to the CPAN
VERSION
version 0.103018
PERL VERSION
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years. Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
USAGE
usage: cpan-upload [options] file-to-upload-1 [ file-to-upload-2 ... ] -v --verbose enable verbose logging -h --help display this help message --dry-run do not actually upload anything -u --user your PAUSE username -p --password the password to your PAUSE account -d --directory a dir in your CPAN space in which to put the file --http-proxy URL of the http proxy to use in uploading --ignore-errors instead of aborting, continue to next file on error -c --config config file to use; defaults to ~/.pause --md5 compute MD5 checksums of the files --retries number of retries to perform on upload failure --retry-delay number of seconds to wait between retries
CONFIGURATION
If you have a ".pause" file in your home directory, it will be checked for a username and password. It should look like this: user EXAMPLE password your-secret-password You can GnuPG-encrypt this file if you wish, but you must install Config::Identity and configure your gpg-agent as Config::Identity currently doesn't prompt for a password at decryption time: # Follow the prompts, setting your key as the "recipient" # Use ^D once you've finished typing out your authentication information gpg -ea > $HOME/.pause # OR, encrypt a file you already created: gpg -ea $HOME/.pause && mv $HOME/.pause{.asc,}
