MiniPAN

MiniPan is a try to write a minimalistic replacement for the 'cpan' command line tool mainly for the iPhone as limited resources make it impossible to use it on that platform (cpan tries to load the whole package list into the memory, even with CPAN::SQLite installed...

Currently only installation of single modules and their dependencies is supported.

DEPENDENCIES

Of course you need Perl installed on your iPhone already. There is a Perl 5.10.0 version for the iPhone OS 2.x in CoreDev's Cydia repository. Installation instructions can be found on their page:

http://coredev.nl/

following packages are also required:

• sudo
• make and anything build related (build-essential under debian)
• OpenSSH (for remote login)

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

perl Makefile.PL
