There is that META.yml file within the package, but, eg, ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/G/GO/GOZER/ doesn't have an explicit mod_perl-2.0.0-RC1.meta file, like there is for, eg, mod_perl-1.28. > > > Even if it did, however, I'm not sure it would solve > > this problem, as the full META.yml may not be implemented > > yet by PAUSE. > > I think private: should be working. Let me ping some people. That would be the best solution, of course. It seems to be working in principle for some examples; for example, for IO-Prompt, the META.yml file includes name: IO-Prompt version: 0.02 no_index: directory: - inc generated_by: Module::Install version 0.35 and in the IO-Prompt-0.02/inc/ directory there's, for example, Module::Install, and yet the CPAN indexer correctly associates Module::Install with the Module-Install distribution (this is actually a good test, as IO-Prompt and Module-Install have Autrijus Tang as the author, so it's not a question of permissions that Module::Install of IO-Prompt didn't get indexed). -- best regards, randy -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
