I agree about the manpage, but the fact that there's an entry at
all within CPAN.pm I thought meant that PAUSE has registered it
at some level. But you're right for Audio::CD:
Module id = Audio::CD
DESCRIPTION Perl interface to libcdaudio (cd + cddb)
CPAN_USERID DOUGM (Doug MacEachern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
CPAN_VERSION 0.04
CPAN_FILE D/DO/DOUGM/Audio-CD-0.04.tar.gz
DSLI_STATUS bdcO (beta,developer,C,object-oriented)
INST_FILE (not installed)
in that there is a description. But does this come about from
registering a module? Or can it be done by going to the PAUSE
page and just updating the meta information on the already
present mod_perl?
