CPAN::Search::Lite::Extract - extract files from CPAN distributions
This module extracts the pod sections from various files in a
CPAN distribution, and places them in the location specified by
pod_root in the main configuration file, underneath a
subdirectory denoting the distribution's name. Additionally,
it copies to this subdirectory the README and META.yml
files of the distribution, if they exist. Information on the
prerequisites of the package, as well as the abstract, if not
known at this point and if available, is extracted from
META.yml and stored for future use. It also runs
pod2html on all the pod files, placing the results underneath
html_root.
It is assumed here that a local CPAN mirror exists; the no_mirror
configuration option will cause this extraction to be skipped.
