Software distributions released to the CPAN include a META.json or,
for older distributions, META.yml, which describes the distribution,
its contents, and the requirements for building and installing the
distribution. The data structure stored in the META.json file is
described in CPAN::Meta::Spec.
CPAN::Meta provides a simple class to represent this distribution
metadata (or distmeta), along with some helpful methods for
interrogating that data.
CPAN::Mini provides a simple mechanism to build and update a minimal
mirror of the CPAN on your local disk. It contains only those files
needed to install the newest version of every distribution.
CPAN::Recent::Uploads provides a mechanism for obtaining a list of
the RECENT uploads to CPAN as determined from the files produced
by File::Rsync::Mirror::Recentfile that exist in the authors/
directory on CPAN.

Adds CPAN Testers reporting to CPAN.pm
This package is used for setting up, maintaining, and searching a CPAN database
consisting of the information stored in the three main CPAN indices:
$CPAN/modules/03modlist.data.gz, $CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz, and
$CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.
The cpansite script is used to create your own CPAN server.
The logic is implemented in CPAN::Site::Index which you may
use directly.
You only need to install this module on one server in your network.
