The Perl 5 module Module::Signature adds cryptographic authentications
|
||
|
|
to CPAN distributions, via the special SIGNATURE file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are a module user, all you have to do is to remember running
|
||
|
|
cpansign -v (or just cpansign) before issuing perl Makefile.PL or
|
||
|
|
perl Build.PL; that will ensure the distribution has not been
|
||
|
|
tampered with. For module authors, you'd want to add the SIGNATURE
|
||
|
|
file to your MANIFEST, then type cpansign -s before making a
|
||
|
|
distribution. You may also want to consider adding a signature
|
||
|
|
check as part of your test suite.
