NAME
   CPAN::Unpack - Unpack CPAN distributions

SYNOPSIS
     use CPAN::Unpack;
     my $u = CPAN::Unpack->new;
     $u->cpan("path/to/CPAN/");
     $u->destination("cpan_unpacked/");
     $u->quiet(1);
     $u->unpack;

DESCRIPTION
   The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) is a very useful
   collection of Perl code. It has a whole lot of module distributions.
   This module unpacks the latest version of each distribution. It places
   it in a directory of your choice with directories being the name of the
   distribution.

   It requires a local CPAN mirror to run. You can construct one using
   something similar to:

     /usr/bin/rsync -av --delete ftp.nic.funet.fi::CPAN /Users/acme/cpan/CPAN/

   Note that a CPAN mirror can take up about 1.5G of space (and will take a
   while to rsync initially). Additionally, unpacking will use up about
   another 1.6G.

   This can be handy for code metrics, searching CPAN, or just being very
   nosy indeed.

   This uses Parse::CPAN::Packages::Fast's latest_distributions method for
   finding the latest distribution.
