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
You really want to do just that. The rest are helper modules and users shouldn't be really looking for others. Same goes for dependencies - you always want to PREREQ_PM on Apache::Test and not any other module.
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?
Yup, that's the missing version issue I think.
Can you please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and may be CC Andreas and Autrijus, reminding that we really need to have group accounts. At the moment it's Apache::Test and mod_perl, but there will be many modules released at different times by different people. I've asked many times, but I don't think anything was done about this. May be if more people start nagging, something will happen at the end.
Once this is fixed on PAUSE, CPAN_USERID and CPAN_FILE will agree and point to something like MODPERL_MODULES.
