PAR-Dist-FromPPD
=================

This module creates PAR distributions from PPD XML documents which
are used by ActiveState's "Perl Package Manager", short PPM.

This module parses the PPD document to extract the required
information and then uses PAR::Dist to create a .par archive from it.

PAR has a mailing list, <[email protected]>, that you can write to; send an empty mail to <[email protected]> to join the list and participate in the discussion.

Please send bug reports to <[email protected]>.

The official PAR website may be of help, too: http://par.perl.org
