This script launches the \fB\s-1CPANPLUS\s0\fR utility to perform various operations
from the command line. If it's invoked without arguments, an interactive
shell is executed by default.
.PP
Optionally, it can take a single-letter switch and one or more arguments,
to perform the associated action on each argument.  A summary of the
available commands is listed below; \f(CW\*(C`cpanp \-h\*(C'\fR provides a detailed list.

Each command may be followed by one or more \fIoptions\fR.  If preceded by \f(CW\*(C`no\*(C'\fR,
the corresponding option will be set to \f(CW0\fR, otherwise it's set to \f(CW1\fR.
.PP
Example: To skip a module's tests,
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    cpanp \-i \-\-skiptest MODULE ...
.Ve
.PP
Valid options for most commands are \f(CW\*(C`cpantest\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`debug\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`flush\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`force\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`prereqs\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`storable\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`verbose\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`md5\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`signature\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`skiptest\*(C'\fR; the
\&'d' command also accepts \f(CW\*(C`fetchdir\*(C'\fR.  Please consult CPANPLUS::Configure
for an explanation to their meanings.

Example: To download a module's tarball to the current directory,

.Vb 1
