I only just noticed your email. PAUSE-related issues are better raised to modu...@perl.org <mailto:modu...@perl.org>, or you can send to both modules@ and module-authors. >> This distribution name can only be used by users with permission for the >> package Date::Easy, which you do not have.

I *think* that the problem is this line in your META.json file: "provides" : {}, If you include a “provides” section in your dist’s metadate, then PAUSE will take that as the definitive list of packages in your dist, and won’t look at the code. And PAUSE now requires that a dist includes a package where the name matches the dist name (ie dist Date-Easy should have a module Date::Easy), but there wasn’t such a module listed in “provides”, hence the warning. I’ll raise a ticket on PAUSE, as I think it could be more helpful when the provides block is empty. Cheers, Neil
