# CPAN::Audit::FreshnessCheck(3pm)

check freshness of CPAN::Audit::DB

## NAME

CPAN::Audit::Freshness - check freshness of CPAN::Audit::DB

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use CPAN::Audit::Freshness;
    # from the command-line, with default threshold
    % perl -MCPAN::Audit::Freshness cpan-audit
    # from the command-line, with specified threshold of 5 days
    % perl -MCPAN::Audit::Freshness=5 cpan-audit
    % env CPAN_AUDIT_FRESH_DAYS=30 perl -MCPAN::Audit::Freshness cpan-audit
```

## DESCRIPTION

When loaded, this module outputs a warning if it thinks the version of CPAN::Audit::DB is too old. It does this by comparing the version of that module, which is date-based, with the current time. The default threshold is 30 days, although you can set the value of `"CPAN_AUDIT_FRESH_DAYS"`.

There is no other functionality for this module.
