NAME

       forward-patch - Forward a patch to CPAN's request tracker

SYNOPSIS

        forward-patch PATCH [DISTRIBUTION]

        Examples:
          $ forward-patch some-patch.patch Some-Dist # explicitly set dist name
          $ forward-patch some-patch.patch           # make f-p read dist name from debian/control

CONFIGURATION

       If the distribution name is not set from the command-line forward-patch will also look at the "Homepage"
       field in the "debian/control" file or the "Source" filed in "debian/copyright" and extracts the name from
       there.

       forward-patch will use by default the "DEBFULLNAME" and "DEBEMAIL" environment variables to retrieve
       information about the ticket author. If not set, getpwuid and the "EMAIL" environment variable will be
       used.
