- "Module", "Data::UUID"
- )->distribution()->pretty_id();

- full path and filename to this distribution on a CPAN mirror, then it is
- C<.../authors/id/A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL>.
-
- =head2 What modules does a particular distribution contain?
-
- CPAN::Index->reload();
- my @modules = CPAN::Shell->expand(
