Module uploaded - whats next?

[Rene Schickbauer]

Hi!

While i'm a long term perl user (five, six years or so), i just got to 
upload my first module to PAUSE.

The module is called Maplat and is a framework for intranet web 
development. But thats not my question, actually.

Ok, so now i uploaded my first module with some 50 or some packages/.pm 
 files and stuff. What actually happens next?

While i read the many documentations and FAQ's, i'm not clear about the 
next steps. How long will it take to index the module so it's visible on 
search.cpan.org? How long, until it's available through my CPAN shell?

How does that cpantesters stuff work? It's an automatic thingie, right? 
I know i don't have enough test scripts (i actually only test if the 
thing loads at all - i'm not clear how i'm gonna test the framework 
without a postgresql database and without someone clicking an 
complaining that "all looks wrong").

I know this questions will probably sound stupid (especially coming from 
someone with years of perl experience), but i'd rather learn from you 
than die stooopied ;-)
