NAME
    CPAN::API::HOWTO - a recipe book for programming with CPAN.pm

RECIPES
    All of these recipes assume that you have put "use CPAN" at the top of your program.

  What distribution contains a particular module?
        my $distribution = CPAN::Shell->expand(
            "Module", "Data::UUID"
        )->distribution()->pretty_id();

    This returns a string of the form "AUTHORID/TARBALL". If you want the full path and filename to
    this distribution on a CPAN mirror, then it is ".../authors/id/A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL".

  What modules does a particular distribution contain?
        CPAN::Index->reload();
        my @modules = CPAN::Shell->expand(
            "Distribution", "JHI/Graph-0.83.tar.gz"
        )->containsmods();

    You may also refer to a distribution in the form A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL.
