Comment (by bdubbs):
I found search.cpan.org in the following files:
{{{
general/prog/perl-modules.xml
networking/netprogs/wget.xml
xincludes/texruntime.xml
xsoft/other/inkscape.xml
}}}
The two references in wget are satisfied if all the modules in perl-
modules.xml are installed. HTTP::Daemon is installed with Bundle::LWP and
IO::Socket::SSL is installed with LWP::Protocol::https.
The reference to Tk in xincludes/texruntime.xml can be installed with
'cpan -i Tk', but needs Tk installed. (I've not installed that yet on
this build.)
The reference to XML::XQL in inkscape can be installed with 'cpan -i
XML::XQL'.
The rest are all in general/prog/perl-modules.xml.
In some cases we do not have version numbers for modules (Capture::Tiny,
DateTime, Module::Implementation, Module::Runtime, Sub::Identify,
Test::Exception, Test::Fatal
Test::Needs, Test::Requires, Test::Warnings, Try::Tiny, XML::LibXML, and
XML::SAX)
If these are installed using the cpan -i method, running it again properly
identifies the most recent version.
I run cpan in root's home directory and can find all installed tarballs
with find -name \*.gz. This will give the location of the tarball with
something like:
./.cpan/sources/authors/id/H/HA/HAARG/Test-Needs-0.002005.tar.gz. This
can be used to eliminate the search url and use the cpan url directory.
For example:
https://www.cpan.org/authors/id/H/HA/HAARG/Test-Needs-0.002005.tar.gz
