The valid formats are listed. But then the above example, which I took
from the cpan2dist documentation, should be amended since I am running
it verbatim and it produces the "Invalid format" message.
From the cpan2dist documentation;
### build a debian package of DBI and it's prerequisites,
### don't bother running tests
cpan2dist --format CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb --buildprereq --skiptest DBI
### build a debian package of DBI and it's prerequisites and install
them
cpan2dist --format CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb --buildprereq --install DBI
I am confused as to why there is an example to build a format that is
invalid.
