.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
CPAN::Admin is a subclass of \s-1CPAN\s0 that adds the commands \f(CW\*(C`register\*(C'\fR
and \f(CW\*(C`modsearch\*(C'\fR to the \s-1CPAN\s0 shell.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`register\*(C'\fR calls \f(CW\*(C`get\*(C'\fR on the named module, assembles a couple of
informations (description, language), and calls Netscape with the
\&\-remote argument so that a form is filled with all the assembled
informations and the registration can be performed with a single
click. If the command line has more than one argument, register does
not run a \f(CW\*(C`get\*(C'\fR, instead it interprets the rest of the line as \s-1DSLI\s0
status, description, and userid and sends them to netscape such that
the form is again mostly filled and can be edited or confirmed with a
single click. CPAN::Admin never performs the submission click for you,
it is only intended to fill in the form on \s-1PAUSE\s0 and leave the
confirmation to you.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`modsearch\*(C'\fR simply passes the arguments to the search engine for the
modules@perl.org mailing list at <http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de> where all
registration requests are stored. It does so in the same way as
register, namely with the \f(CW\*(C`netscape \-remote\*(C'\fR command.
.PP
An experimental feature has also been added, namely to color already
registered modules in listings. If you have Term::ANSIColor installed,
the u, r, and m commands will show already registered modules in
green.
.SH "PREREQUISITES"
.IX Header "PREREQUISITES"
URI::Escape, a browser available in the path, the browser must
understand the \-remote switch (as far as I know, this is only
available on \s-1UNIX\s0); coloring of registered modules is only available
if Term::ANSIColor is installed.
