Running through the results of cpanstats for last month, a number of reports got dropped for a module upload. On first glance I thought there was a universal fault of the testing procedure, particularly for CPAN::Reporter, as none of the YACsmoke testers had the same problem.
However, it appear Jonathan Rockway has uploaded a rather unusually named distribution [1], which fails the name parsing criteria of cpanstats and YACSmoke. [1] http://search.cpan.org/~jrockway/__-0.01/lib/__.pm Now this comes back to what we should accept as the standard format for distributions. As CPAN::Reporter seemed to accept this, then maybe obscurely name distributions should be accepted, but I rather discourage them personally. It's hard enough trying to find the right distribution anyway! Should the name parsing be relaxed in YACSmoke? Thought appreciated. Thanks.
