This may be an unsolveable problem, but when using CPAN.pm
to explore Apache-Test, some strange things arise:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] randy]$ cpan
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.76)
ReadLine support enabled
cpan> m Apache::Test
Module id = Apache::Test
DESCRIPTION Framework for testing Apache modules
CPAN_USERID STAS (Stas Bekman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
CPAN_VERSION 1.06
CPAN_FILE G/GE/GEOFF/Apache-Test-1.06.tar.gz
DSLI_STATUS Smph (standard,mailing-list,perl,hybrid)
MANPAGE Apache::Test - Test.pm wrapper with helpers for testing Apache
INST_FILE /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Apache/Test.pm
INST_VERSION 1.06
cpan> m Apache::TestRun
Module id = Apache::TestRun
CPAN_USERID STAS (Stas Bekman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
CPAN_VERSION undef
CPAN_FILE G/GE/GEOFF/Apache-Test-1.06.tar.gz
MANPAGE Apache::TestRun - Run the test suite
INST_FILE /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Apache/TestRun.pm
INST_VERSION undef
cpan> m Apache::TestRunPerl
Module id = Apache::TestRunPerl
CPAN_USERID STAS (Stas Bekman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
CPAN_VERSION undef
CPAN_FILE G/GE/GEOFF/Apache-Test-1.05.tar.gz
MANPAGE
INST_FILE /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Apache/TestRunPerl.pm
INST_VERSION undef
cpan> m Apache::TestSmoke
Module id = Apache::TestSmoke
CPAN_USERID STAS (Stas Bekman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
CPAN_VERSION undef
CPAN_FILE G/GE/GEOFF/Apache-Test-1.05.tar.gz
MANPAGE Apache::TestSmoke - Special Tests Sequence Failure Finder
INST_FILE /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Apache/TestSmoke.pm
INST_VERSION undef
The difference between the CPAN_USERID and CPAN_FILE user is
perhaps at best confusing, but what's also strange (and
perhaps a problem for users) is that different CPAN_FILE
versions are reported. So, if a user asks to install
Apache::TestRunPerl, version 1.05 will be fetched, while
asking for Apache::TestRun will fetch 1.06.
Might this have to do with the versions of these modules
being undefined?
