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

I've missed this place (been busy as all get up for spell lately.)

I may have really brought the first letters out of assumption, but I assumed that the code that runs the PAUSE and CPAN servers would be publicly distributed, and yet I can't seem to find any leads.

I'm considering trying to adapt it to a non-perl Open Source project's code.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

    See http://www.perl.com/CPAN/SITES.html for information on becoming a CPAN mirror. There isn't much "CPAN site software", you just need an FTP server (or HTTP server) and mirroring software (rsync is encouraged).

    I think there is only one PAUSE server so I don't think you can become a PAUSE mirror.

    Since there is only one PAUSE server, you'd need to contact the PAUSE system administrator about getting a copy to adapt for another project. See https://pause.kbx.de/pause/authenquery?ACTION=pause_04about for more information and the maintainer's e-mail address.
