+# ctan-o-mat - Upload or validate a package for CTAN
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+```
+ctan-o-mat [options] [<package configuration>]
+```
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+This program can be used to automate the upload of a package to CTAN
+(https://www.ctan.org). The description of the package is contained in
+a configuration file. Thus it can be updated easily without the need
+to fill a Web form with the same old information.
+
+The provided information is validated in any case. If the validation
+succeeds and not only the validation is requested then the provided
+archive file is placed in the incoming area of the CTAN for further
+processing by the CTAN team.
+
+In any case any finding during the validation is reported at the end
+of the processing. Note that the validation is the default and a
+official submission has to be requested by the an appropriate command
+line option.
+
+*ctan-o-mat* requires an Internet connection to the CTAN server. Even the
+validation retrieves the known attributes and the basic constraints
+from the server.
+
+
+## CONFIGURATION
+
+The default configuration is read from a file with the same name as
+the current directory an the extension `.pkg`. This file name can be
+overwritten on the command line.
+
+The configuration depends on the features supported by the CTAN server.
+Since these features can change over time the configuration is not
+hard-coded in *ctan-o-mat*. You can request a template of the
+configuration via the command line parameter `-init`.

+by setting some environment variables before running *ctan-o-mat*.
+To redirect the request via the proxy simply define an environment variable
+`http_proxy` to point to the proxy host -- including protocol and port as
+required. Note that the name of the environment variable is supposed to be in *lower* case.
+
+
+## INSTALLATION
+
+### PREREQUISITE: PERL
+
+*ctan-o-mat* is written in Perl. Thus a Perl interpreter has to be installed,
+at least in version 5. It is assumed that the Perl interpreter is reachable
+under the name `perl` on the program path.
+
+
+### PREREQUISITE: LWP
+
+*ctan-o-mat* uses the LWP bundle to connect to the remote server and such.
+Thus it has to be installed. With the help of Perl you can install it with
+the following command line: 
+
+```
+perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'
+```
+
+You might want to check whether LWP can be installed with your package manager. In this case this is the preferred way.
+
+### INSTALLATION STEPS
+
+The installation is straight forward. Just put the file `ctan-o-mat.pl` and one of `ctan-o-mat` or `ctan-o-mat.bat` on your path.
+
+Make sure that these files are executable (if required). Now you are done.

+=head1 NAME
+
+ctan-o-mat - Upload or validate a package for CTAN
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ctan-o-mat [options] [<package configuration>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This program can be used to automate the upload of a package to CTAN
+(https://www.ctan.org). The description of the package is contained in
+a configuration file. Thus it can be updated easily without the need
+to fill a Web form with the same old information.
+
+The provided information is validated in any case. If the validation
+succeeds and not only the validation is requested then the provided
+archive file is placed in the incoming area of the CTAN for further
+processing by the CTAN team.
+
+In any case any finding during the validation is reported at the end
+of the processing. Note that the validation is the default and a
+official submission has to be requested by the an appropriate command
+line option.
+
+B<ctan-o-mat> requires an Internet connection to the CTAN server. Even the
+validation retrieves the known attributes and the basic constraints
+from the server.
+
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+The default configuration is read from a file with the same name as
+the current directory an the extension .pkg. This file name can be
+overwritten on the command line.
+
+The configuration depends on the features supported by the CTAN server.
+Since these features can change over time the configuration is not
+hard-coded in B<ctan-o-mat>. You can request a template of the
+configuration via the command line parameter C<-init>.
+
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item -h
+
+=item --help
+
+Print this short summary about the usage and exit the program.
+
+=item --validate
+
+=item -n
+
+=item --noaction
+
+Do not perform the final upload. The package is validated and the
+resulting messages are printed. 
+
+=item -i
+
+=item --init
+
+Create an empty template for a configuration.
+
+=item -s
+
+=item --submit
+
+Upload the submission, validate it and officially submit it to CTAN it the 
+validation succeeds.
+
+=item -v
+
+=item --verbose
+
+Print some more information during the processing (verbose mode).
+
+=item --version
+
+Print the version number of this program and exit.
+
+=item --validate
+
+Print some additional debugging information.
+
+=item <package>
+
+This parameter is the name of a package configuration
+(see section CONFIGURATION) contained in a file.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 CONNECTING VIA PROXIES
+
+If you need to connect to the Internet via a proxy then this can be achieved
+by setting some environment variables before running B<ctan-o-mat>.
+To redirect the request via the proxy simply define an environment variable
+C<http_proxy> to point to the proxy host -- including protocol and port as
+required. Note that the name of the environment variable is supposed to be in
+B<lower> case.
