.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is the main module used to set up or update the
database tables used to store information from the
\&\s-1CPAN\s0 and ppm indices. The creation of the object
.PP
.Vb 1
\& my $index = CPAN::SQLite::Index\->new(%args);
.Ve
.PP
accepts two possible arguments:
.IP "\(bu" 3
setup => 1
.Sp
This (optional) argument specifies that the database is being set up.
Any existing tables will be dropped.
.IP "\(bu" 3
reindex => value
.Sp
This (optional) argument specifies distribution names that
one would like to reindex in an existing database. These may
be specified as either a scalar, for a single distribution,
or as an array reference for a list of distributions.
.SH "DETAILS"
.IX Header "DETAILS"
Calling
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $index\->index();
.Ve
.PP
will start the indexing procedure. Various messages
detailing the progress will written to \fI\s-1STDOUT\s0\fR,
which by default will be captured into a file
\&\fIcpan_sqlite_log.dddddddddd\fR, where the extension
is the \f(CW\*(C`time\*(C'\fR that the method was invoked. Error messages
are not captured, and will appear in \fI\s-1STDERR\s0\fR.
.PP
The steps of the indexing procedure are as follows.
.IP "\(bu" 3
fetch index data
.Sp
The necessary \s-1CPAN\s0 index files
\&\fI\f(CI$CPAN\fI/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz\fR,
\&\fI\f(CI$CPAN\fI/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz\fR, and
\&\fI\f(CI$CPAN\fI/modules/03modlist.data.gz\fR will be fetched
from the \s-1CPAN\s0 mirror specified by the \f(CW$cpan\fR variable
at the beginning of CPAN::SQLite::Index. If you are
using this option, it is recommended to use the
same \s-1CPAN\s0 mirror with subsequent updates, to ensure consistency
of the database. As well, the information on the locations
of the \s-1CPAN\s0 mirrors used for Template-Toolkit and GeoIP
is written.
.IP "\(bu" 3
get index information
.Sp
Information from the \s-1CPAN\s0 indices is extracted through
CPAN::SQLite::Info.
.IP "\(bu" 3
get state information
.Sp
Unless the \f(CW\*(C`setup\*(C'\fR argument within the \f(CW\*(C`new\*(C'\fR
method of CPAN::SQLite::Index is specified,
this will get information on the state of the database
through CPAN::SQLite::State.
A comparison is then made between this information
and that gathered from the \s-1CPAN\s0 indices, and if there's
a discrepancy in some items, those items are marked
for either insertion, updating, or deletion, as appropriate.
.IP "\(bu" 3
populate the database
.Sp
At this stage the gathered information is used to populate
the database, through CPAN::SQLite::Populate,
either inserting new items, updating
existing ones, or deleting obsolete items.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
CPAN::SQLite::Info, CPAN::SQLite::State,
CPAN::SQLite::Populate,
and CPAN::SQLite::Util.
Development takes place on the CPAN-SQLite project
at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpan\-search/>.
