# 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 the CPANPLUS::Backend manpage.

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.
