This is the README file for CPANPLUS, Ameliorated interface to
the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, by Jos Boumans.

Please type "perldoc CPANPLUS" after installation to see the
module usage information.

### PLEASE NOTE ###################################################

CPANPLUS will eventually be a full drop-in replacement for CPAN.pm.
However, at this early stage in its life, you should *NOT* expect
it to work just like CPAN.pm.

###################################################################

* Installation

CPANPLUS uses the standard perl module install process:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

* Notes for Windows users

If you are using Microsoft Windows, you'll probably need the 'nmake'
utility before installation. It's available at:

    ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe

Please download the file, save it to your windows directory, and run it
from there; that will create the 'nmake.exe' file needed by CPANPLUS.

* Contact

CPANPLUS has several mailing lists you can write to:

- General suggestions: <cpanplus-info@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Bug reporting:       <cpanplus-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Development list:    <cpanplus-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>
