Slide 1:Indexing BackPAN brian d foy brian@stonehenge.com April 22, 2008
Slide 2:• BackPAN is the historical archive of Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) • http://backpan.cpan.org • 200k number of files, 10 Gb
Slide 3:• CPAN only has the distributions the authors leave on there • 55k distributions, 4 Gb • CPAN tools use an index
Slide 4:• Perl doesn't have a package manager • Install a file by putting it in @INC • No file to distro reverse mapping • Avoids overwriting by PAUSE indexing and permissions checking • No version management, multiple versions, author management
Slide 5:• Recreate module installation history • Start with the files in @INC • Work backward to distro • End with a list of distros to install • Create a MyCPAN with those distros
Slide 6:How PAUSE indexes
