I *think* it's because version 0.010000 contains module Marpa::UrHTML which isn't in 0.104000. So, as Marpa-0.010000 contains the most recent version of Marpa::UrHTML, the distribution goes into the CPAN index. Marpa-0.104000 is *also* in the index because it contains the most recent version of Marpa.pm. You can see this in the 02packages file. Assuming I'm right, you can fix it by deleting Marpa-0.010000 from the CPAN (there's an interface for this on pause.cpan.org) and waiting a few days for the deletion to propagate out to everywhere. -- David Cantrell | Reality Engineer, Ministry of Information Wow, my first sigquoting!
