The Perl 5 module BackPAN::Index provides an index of BackPAN and
|
|
some handy methods. The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN)
|
|
is a very useful collection of Perl code. However, in order to keep
|
|
CPAN relatively small, authors of modules can delete older versions
|
|
of modules to only let CPAN have the latest version of a module.
|
|
BackPAN is where these deleted modules are backed up. It's more
|
|
like a full CPAN mirror, only without the deletions.
