That might be arguable, but downloading from a CPAN mirror definitely does constitute distribution. So if the criteria for eligibility to distribute a particular package exclude the CPAN from being able to distribute it, that means the package cannot be downloaded from the CPAN. Then what’s the point of copying it to mirrors? Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
