NAME¶

CPAN::Audit - Audit CPAN distributions for known vulnerabilities

SYNOPSIS¶

        use CPAN::Audit;

DESCRIPTION¶

CPAN::Audit uses the CPAN Security Advisory database to connect vulnerability reports to installed CPAN modules. It is used by cpan-audit command-line application to query for vulnerabilities.

This used to come with its own version of the database, "CPAN::Audit::DB", but this was moved to its own distribution and is now deprecated in favor of CPANSA::DB.

This module will try to load CPANSA::DB, and if it can't, will try the deprecated "CPAN::Audit::DB" (with a warning). Eventually, "CPAN::Audit::DB" support will be completely removed. If you've been updating your own version of "CPAN::Audit::DB", change its package to CPANSA::DB. The modules are the same otherwise.
