It was Friday, August 01, 2003 when Dan Muey took the soap box, saying: : Howdy All, : I need some input on how to do steps 2.5 and 3 below(or if I'm missing a step): : : 1) - make module : I have a Module I made that does what I want when I do. : use lib '/home/joe/mama'; : use Module; : : What I'd like to do is put it on CPAN. : : 2) - make the file for it to put on cpan : I've been looking at : : http://cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_make_bundle : To see how to make it ready for cpan : (any other resources, suggestions, etcc on this topic are welcome) : : I think I have that down. : That basically makes the one file I upload to cpan right?

See the above instruction. : 3) - put it on cpan for public use : : I know I need to get an account and namespace approval and : upload it but I'm lost as to how to do that/finer points of it. : I know the docs are there but I missed it on cpan.
