The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) +is a very useful collection of Perl code. However, in order to keep +CPAN relatively small, authors of modules can delete older versions +of modules to only let CPAN have the latest version of a module. +BackPAN is where these deleted modules are backed up. It's more +like a full CPAN mirror, only without the deletions. |
