The Tk Module List is now brought back into the main module list.
The following instructions are for Dominique, but are valid for
anybody with modmaint priviledge.
For structural changes is the module list patchable against
CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.txt.gz
Changing a module's DSLI, description, or author is done via PAUSE
usually by the author. Modmaint cannot do that right now, but admins
can.
Adding a module is also done via PAUSE by group modmaint. It has
special support by CPAN::Admin. There are two typical uses:
% perl -MCPAN::Admin -e shell
cpan> register Tk::Foo::Bar adpf Reversible Bar::Foo widget ACH
This will fill out a form in your running Netscape that you can then
commit to the database with a single click. The change to the database
will happen immediately, the change to the module list will happen
when I deal with it.
Second usage of CPAN::Admin is for modules that are already available
on CPAN:
cpan> register Tk::Foo::Bar
This will figure out as much as possible about the module and then
do the equivalent of the other invocation.
Enjoy,
