NAME

forward-bug - Forward Debian bug to CPAN's request tracker

SYNOPSIS

 forward-bug BUGNUMBER [DISTRIBUTION]
 Examples:
   $ forward-bug 555555 Some-Dist # explicitly set dist name
   $ forward-bug 32412314         # make f-b read dist name from debian/control

CONFIGURATION

forward-bug.pl read the file "~/.pause" for the configuration. The format is the same that cpan-upload requires: 
  user YOUR-PAUSE-ID
  password YOUR-PAUSE-PASSWORD
If the distribution name is not set from the command-line forward-bug will also look at the "Homepage" field in the "debian/control" file or the "Source" filed in "debian/copyright" and extracts the name from there.
