=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script launches the B<CPANPLUS> utility to perform various operations
from the command line. If it's invoked without arguments, an interactive
shell is executed by default.

Optionally, it can take a single-letter switch and one or more argument,
to perform the associated action on each arguments.  A summary of the
available commands is listed below; C<cpanp -h> provides a detailed list.

    h                   # help information
    v                   # version information

    a AUTHOR ...        # search by author(s)
    m MODULE ...        # search by module(s)
    f MODULE ...        # list all releases of a module

    i MODULE ...        # install module(s)
    t MODULE ...        # test module(s)
    u MODULE ...        # uninstall module(s)
    d MODULE ...        # download module(s)
    l MODULE ...        # display detailed information about module(s)
    r MODULE ...        # display README files of module(s)
    c MODULE ...        # check for module report(s) from cpan-testers
    z MODULE ...        # extract module(s) and open command prompt in it

    x                   # reload CPAN indices

    o [ MODULE ... ]    # list installed module(s) that aren't up to date
    b                   # write a bundle file for your configuration

Each command may be followed by one or more I<options>.  If preceded by C<no>,
the corresponding option will be set to C<0>, otherwise it's set to C<1>.

Example: To skip a module's tests,

    cpanp -i --skiptest MODULE ...

Valid options for most commands are C<cpantest>, C<debug>, C<flush>, C<force>,
C<prereqs>, C<storable>, C<verbose>, C<md5>, C<signature>, and C<skiptest>; the
'd' command also accepts C<fetchdir>.  Please consult L<CPANPLUS::Configure>
for an explanation to their meanings.

Example: To download a module's tarball to the current directory,

    cpanp -d --fetchdir=. MODULE ...
