NAME CPAN::Metadata::RDF - Generate metadata about CPAN in RDF SYNOPSIS use strict; use CPAN::Metadata::RDF; # To generate metadata my $m = CPAN::Metadata::RDF->new(); $m->backpan("/home/acme/backpan/BACKPAN/"); $m->cpan("/home/acme/cpan/CPAN/"); $m->directory("."); $m->create_db; # once $m->generate; # To output metadata my $m = CPAN::Metadata::RDF->new(); $m->directory("."); print $m->output; # RDF # Methods to parse and query RDF soon... DESCRIPTION This module generates metadata about CPAN modules (and BACKPAN) modules in RDF format. It requires a local CPAN mirror (for example, mirrored using "/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete ftp.nic.funet.fi::CPAN /path/to/local/cpan/") as well as a local BACKPAN mirror (for example, mirrored using "/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete pause.perl.org::backpan /path/to/local/backpan/"). It currently uses an SQLite database as a temporary datastore. It takes about two hours to generate the RDF file from scratch. I don't expect many people to run this module. I run it occasionally, and you should be able to fetch the latest version from: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/L/LB/LBROCARD/cpan.rdf.gz AUTHOR Leon Brocard LICENSE This code is distributed under the same license as Perl.
