cli to cpan search?by leocharre (Priest) |

leocharre has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Is there a cli to mimic http://search.cpan.org ?
I'm imagining something like..
Search insensitive, print the name and abstract for each; cpansearch -a -n -i cgi Search case sensitive, print the name and readme to each result; cpansearch -n -r CGII'm tempted to write this out, but it might be silly- especially if there's something out there. ( I can see some examples in CPAN::Search::Lite. And WWW::CPAN looks quite relevant here. )
