What is CPAN6?

CPAN6 is designed to be the follow-up of CPAN, Perl5's module archive, as a way to distribute released material. The main differences are:

  • it creates any amount of archives and helps you maintain them, where CPAN is only one archive,
  • it is not limited to perl5 use—it can be used for any collection of data,
  • it adds trust in publisher and security during transport, and
  • it keeps track on license and copyright issues.

Other notable CPAN6 features:

  • CPAN6 handles bundles of archives.
  • It can be used to simplify the administrative tasks of ftp-server maintainers.
  • It can be used to organize internal software distribution for companies and other organization.

Status

  • CPAN6 was launched during YAPC::EU 2006, and an initial demo shown at YAPC::EU 2007.
  • CPAN6 components are getting released,
    • XML::Compile, and strict XML-Schema processor
    • XML::Compile::SOAP, a SOAP::Lite replacement
    • XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon, a SOAP server
    • Log::Report, combining translations with an exception mechamism
    • Log::Report::View
  • CPAN6 specific modules are not released yet: all time is spend on general purpose components.
