Additionally, the environment variable C will be set to the version of C. This information might be useful somehow to spawned processes. =head1 METHODS =head2 $cb = CPANPLUS::Backend->new( [CONFIGURE_OBJ] ) This method returns a new C object.

The C you can specify is any of the accessors specified in C or C. C will determine by the C you specified whether to search by author object or module object. You have to specify an array reference of regular expressions or strings to match against. The rules used for this array ref are the same as in C, so read that manpage for details. The search is an C search, meaning that if C of the criteria match, the search is considered to be successful. You can specify the result of a previous search as C to limit the new search to these module or author objects, rather than the entire module or author tree. This is how you do C searches. Returns a list of module or author objects on success and false on failure. See L for the operations you can perform on a module object.

In the third, we will use the current working directory. If C is unable to actually find the module you are looking for in its module tree, but you supplied it with an author, module and version part in a distribution name or URI, it will create a fake C object for you, that you can use just like the real thing.

It does this by fetching a file called C in the root of the custom sources's C. If you provide the C argument, it will only update the index for that specific C. Here's an example of how custom sources would resolve into index files: file:///path/to/sources => file:///path/to/sources/packages.txt http://example.com/sources => http://example.com/sources/packages.txt ftp://example.com/sources => ftp://example.com/sources/packages.txt The file C simply holds a list of packages that can be found under the root of the C. This file can be automatically generated for you when the remote source is a C. For C, C, and similar, the administrator of that repository should run the method C<< $cb->write_custom_source_index >> on the repository to allow remote users to index it. For details, see the C<< $cb->write_custom_source_index >> method below. All packages that are added via this mechanism will be attributed to the author with C C. You can use this id to search for all added packages. =cut sub update_custom_source { my $self = shift; ### if it mentions /remote/, the request is to update a single uri, ### not all the ones we have, so dispatch appropriately my $rv = grep( /remote/i, @_) ? $self->__update_custom_module_source( @_ ) : $self->__update_custom_module_sources( @_ ); return $rv; } =head2 $file = $cb->write_custom_source_index( path => /path/to/package/root, [to => /path/to/index/file, verbose => BOOL] ); Writes the index for a custom repository root. Most users will not have to worry about this, but administrators of a repository will need to make sure their indexes are up to date. The index will be written to a file called C in your repository root, which you can specify with the C argument. You can override this location by specifying the C argument, but in normal operation, that should not be required. Once the index file is written, users can then add the C pointing to the repository to their custom list of sources and start using it right away. See the C<< $cb->add_custom_source >> method for user details. =cut sub write_custom_source_index { return shift->__write_custom_module_index( @_ ); } 1; =pod =head1 BUG REPORTS Please report bugs or other issues to Ebug-cpanplus@rt.cpan.org. =head1 AUTHOR This module by Jos Boumans Ekane@cpan.orgE. =head1 COPYRIGHT The CPAN++ interface (of which this module is a part of) is copyright (c) 2001 - 2007, Jos Boumans Ekane@cpan.orgE.
