ANNOUNCE: Perl.Wiki V 1.42 & 2 CPAN::Meta* modules

Available now from my Wiki Haven: Perl.Wiki.html V 1.42 & the JSTree version.

Also, I've uploaded to CPAN 2 modules:

1: CPAN::MetaCurator V 1.13

2: CPAN::MetaPackager V 1.00

Q & A:

1: What is the relationship between these 2 modules?
CPAN::MetaPackager's scripts/build.db.sh inputs
a recent version of the Perl file 02packages.details.txt,
and outputs an SQLite file called cpan.metapackager.sqlite (15Mb).
The latter ships with the module.

Future versions of this module will use the differences between the db
and newer versions of 02packages.details.txt to do the usual thing of
add/change/delete entries in cpan.metapackager.sqlite.

2: CPAN::MetaCurator's scripts/build.db.sh inputs
an JSON export from Perl.Wiki.html called tiddlers.json,
and outputs an SQLite file called cpan.metacurator.sqlite (15Mb).
The latter ships with the module.

Then scripts/export.tree.sh outputs a file called cpan.metacurator.tree.html.
This latter file is a JSTree version of Perl.Wiki.html, as mentioned above.

Note: By setting the env var INCLUDE_PACKAGES to 1 before you run export.tree.sh
the code will read the cpan.metapackager.sqlite table 'packages' and that changes
the output tree a bit, since the code then knows the names of modules released
to CPAN.
