NAME
    XPAN::Query - Query a {CPAN,MiniCPAN,DarkPAN} mirror

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.01 of XPAN::Query (from Perl
    distribution XPAN-Query), released on 2014-06-05.

SYNOPSIS
     use XPAN::Query qw(
         list_xpan_packages
         list_xpan_modules
         list_xpan_dists
         list_xpan_authors
     );
     my $res = list_ubuntu_releases(detail=>1);
     # raw data is in $Ubuntu::Releases::data;

DESCRIPTION
    INITIAL RELEASE: no implementations yet.

    XPAN is a term I coined for any repository (directory tree, be it on a
    local filesystem or a remote network) that has structure like a CPAN
    mirror, specifically having a "modules/02packages.details.txt.gz" file.
    This includes a normal CPAN mirror, a MiniCPAN, or a DarkPAN. Currently
    it *excludes* BackPAN, because it does not have
    "02packages.details.txt.gz", only "authors/id/C/CP/CPANID" directories.

    With this module, you can query various things about the repository.
    This module fetches "02packages.details.txt.gz" and parses it (caching
    it locally for a period of time).
