Git::LoadCPAN - Wrapper for loading modules from the CPAN (OS) or Git's own copy
The Perl code in Git depends on some modules from the CPAN, but we
don't want to make those a hard requirement for anyone building from
source.
Therefore the the Git::LoadCPAN manpage namespace shipped with Git contains
wrapper modules like Git::LoadCPAN::Module::Name that will first
attempt to load Module::Name from the OS, and if that doesn't work
will fall back on FromCPAN::Module::Name shipped with Git itself.
Usually distributors will not ship with Git's Git::FromCPAN tree at
all via the NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS option, preferring to use their
own packaging of CPAN modules instead.
This module is only intended to be used for code shipping in the
git.git repository. Use it for anything else at your peril!
