DESCRIPTION
This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that can add custom sources
to your CPANPLUS installation. This is a wrapper around the "custom
module sources" code as outlined in "CUSTOM MODULE SOURCES" in
CPANPLUS::Backend.
This allows you to extend your index of available modules beyond what's
available on "CPAN" with your own local distributions, or ones offered
by third parties.
