This document discusses searching CPAN offline using CPAN::Mini and CPAN::Mini::Webserver. It summarizes that CPAN::Mini allows indexing CPAN modules without extracting them, and CPAN::Mini::Webserver provides a web interface to search the indexed modules offline similar to search.cpan.org. It also lists dependencies and releases of the software and acknowledges contributions from other developers.

What is CPAN? CPAN is an acronym standing for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, an archive of over , modules of so ware written in Perl, as well as documentation for it.[ ] It has a presence on the World Wide Web at www.cpan.org and is mirrored worldwide on more than locations [ ]. CPAN can denote either the archive network itself, or the Perl program that acts as an interface to the network and as an automated so ware installer (somewhat like a package manager). Most so ware on CPAN is free so ware.[ ]
CPAN is big , Uploads , Distributions , Modules , Uploaders

I got annoyed search.cpan.org was closed source (and still is) I am not always connected to the internet Latency
Kobesearch I played with searching, but didn’t get very far Randy Kobes wrote Search::CPAN::Lite (kobesearch.cpan.org) Needs to extract les and generates a database
Time passes Didn’t do anything for a while Needing to extract les and generate a database was too much work
Needed distraction from writing a book www.tickmyboxes.com
Insight in the shower Do not need to extract CPAN Indexes are good enough Can extract on the y
Actually Not CPAN, but MINICPAN CPAN::Mini & minicpan CPAN::Mini::Webserver
