cpan-upload
v1.3
This is a script for uploading a distribution to CPAN (using PAUSE,
the Perl Authors Upload SErver). The upload happens in two steps:
* first we ftp the file to the upload ftp site
* we POST a message to the PAUSE web site
Before using the script you must register with PAUSE to get a username
and password.
To install this script, you should just have to run the following:
% perl Makefile.PL
% make install
The script is fully documented using pod. Once installed you should get
a man page. It also supports two informational switches:
-help display a short help message
-doc format the pod documentation to the tty
The script requires several modules from CPAN. You can get the latest
version via the CPAN multiplexor at
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/

App::Config modules/by-module/App/
Pod::Usage modules/by-module/Pod/
Net::FTP in the libnet distribution

I'd be happy to hear of any suggestions for improving this script.
