+=head1 STATUS
+
+This module will eventually be replaced by CPANPLUS. CPANPLUS is kind
+of a modern rewrite from ground up with greater extensibility and more
+features but no full compatibility. If you're new to CPAN.pm, you
+probably should investigate if CPANPLUS is the better choice for you.
+If you're already used to CPAN.pm you're welcome to continue using it,
+if you accept that its development is mostly (though not completely)
+stalled.
+
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The CPAN module is designed to automate the make and install of perl
-modules and extensions. It includes some searching capabilities and
+modules and extensions. It includes some primitive searching capabilities and
knows how to use Net::FTP or LWP (or lynx or an external ftp client)
to fetch the raw data from the net.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
-When the CPAN module is installed, a site wide configuration file is
-created as CPAN/Config.pm. The default values defined there can be
-overridden in another configuration file: CPAN/MyConfig.pm. You can
-store this file in $HOME/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm if you want, because
-$HOME/.cpan is added to the search path of the CPAN module before the
-use() or require() statements.
+When the CPAN module is used for the first time, a configuration
+dialog tries to determine a couple of site specific options. The
+result of the dialog is stored in a hash reference C< $CPAN::Config >
+in a file CPAN/Config.pm.
+
+The default values defined in the CPAN/Config.pm file can be
+overridden in a user specific file: CPAN/MyConfig.pm. Such a file is
+best placed in $HOME/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm, because $HOME/.cpan is
+added to the search path of the CPAN module before the use() or
+require() statements.
+
+The configuration dialog can be started any time later again by
+issueing the command C< o conf init > in the CPAN shell.
Currently the following keys in the hash reference $CPAN::Config are
defined:
dontload_hash anonymous hash: modules in the keys will not be
loaded by the CPAN::has_inst() routine
gzip location of external program gzip
+ histfile file to maintain history between sessions
+ histsize maximum number of lines to keep in histfile
inactivity_timeout breaks interactive Makefile.PLs after this
many seconds inactivity. Set to 0 to never break.
inhibit_startup_message
hide a complete network behind one IP address. With this firewall no
special compiling is needed as you can access hosts directly.
+For accessing ftp servers behind such firewalls you may need to set
+the environment variable C<FTP_PASSIVE> to a true value, e.g.
+
+ env FTP_PASSIVE=1 perl -MCPAN -eshell
+
+or
+
+ perl -MCPAN -e '$ENV{FTP_PASSIVE} = 1; shell'
