CPANPLUS::Shell::Default
- ### loading the shell:
- $ cpanp # run 'cpanp' from the command line
- $ perl -MCPANPLUS -eshell # load the shell from the command line
- use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Default]; # load this shell via the API
- # always done via CPANPLUS::Shell
- my $ui = CPANPLUS::Shell->new;
- $ui->shell; # run the shell
- $ui->dispatch_on_input( input => 'x'); # update the source using the
- # dispatch method
- ### when in the shell:
- ### Note that all commands can also take options.
- ### Look at their underlying CPANPLUS::Backend methods to see
- ### what options those are.
