GitHub and CPAN

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

I am a bit lost, and I hoping that the monks can help me on my way. I am the owner of a few CPAN modules (yes, that means I am a CPAN author), and I would like to publish them on GitHub. But I am LAZY. I want to do this:

MyObject->sendGitHub(
'pm_name' => 'MyCPAN::ModuleName',
'github_username' => 'Larry Wall',
'github_password' => 'TimToady',
);
[download]

So I want the code to take my module (on CPAN) and release it on GitHub under my GitHub account. In other words, it will put the module in a new repo.

Can I do this already with a CPAN module? Is there something that could help me be lazy? Thanks!

How about `chdir $module_repo_dir; system("git push github") == 0 or warn "Couldn't send to GitHub: $! / $?";` [download] Also see Git::Wrapper.	[reply] [d/l]

Okay, thanks. I was wondering if there were a way to do this without having git locally installed but I guess that it wouldn't make sense without git.	[reply]

Wow, I can't believe that password actually worked!	[reply]
