outch ... deprecated doc :( i'm sorry about it: i released cpan2port
really fast because i thought that an almost working program is better
than nothing but there is a lot of work to clean it.
(Line 270: "getopts('vtf:',\%opt) or die;")
Further down in the manual, in the section "Flags tell to
cpan2port what
to do", it describes the flags "v", "t" and "f", but not the "r"
from the
examples.
r was a early t ... it disapeared.
$ cpan2port -t Mac::InternetConfig
Always commit changes to config variables to disk? [no] ^C
yes ... that's the first question of the cpan config: cpan2port relies
on an already configured cpan to download packages and extract
informations.
It does not install anything afaik ... but you must be aware about the
automatic depedence resolution: it have to be more tested.
CPAN's setup script. Is there a way to use cpan2port without
having to
deal with CPAN's interrogation?
no: cpan2port needs a complete and ready to use cpan client.
