Using a local "bundle" module in cpan or cpanp

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

Hello Monks. I've been reading Google'd information on this but it seems that a final series of steps eludes me.

I've made a "dummy" .pm file that lists the modules in a CONTENTS header. I get that. The question I have is how to specify the .pm file to cpanplus. Just giving an argument comprising that filename does not work. Making a tarball of the file and using that as the argument does not work either. Using a file: URL to represent the module tarball doesn't work either.

Thank you for your attention and contribution.

A bundle is just a module on the normal search path. Put your module `Bundle::Dummy` in a file `Bundle/Dummy.pm` somewhere on whatever search path you normally use (and/or add wherever it is to `PERL5LIB`). Edit: alternately you also can use `~/.cpan/Bundle/Dummy.pm` which CPAN should search by default. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
