cpan-watcher

This is a script for determining what's new on CPAN. It works by keeping
a database of what was seen the last time you ran the script.

We will be using this script to generate a "What's new on CPAN"
on our web pages, at http://www.cre.canon.co.uk/perl/

Once cpan-watcher has determined what's new, it can:

  *    generate a web page, with links to the perl.com CPAN multiplexor,
       to make it easy to grab things.

  *    send a mail message to interested parties.

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 an informational switch:

       -help   display a short help message

The script requires the following, which are also available from CPAN:

       Net::FTP
       App::Config

I'd be happy to hear of any suggestions for improving this script;
the ToDo list and possible ideas for future work are listed in the doc.
