I ran into this problem last month where I wanted to set a dependency on Mojo::UserAgent, but the version is always undef. So, I have to create a dependency on a module (Mojolicious) that I didn't actually use. People will say that this shouldn't be a problem, but we thought that about LWP too before it broke out several namespaces. As far as PAUSE is concerned, the behaviour makes sense to me and is only not confusing if you don't think about how Perl treats undef. Is there a reason you don't want to give the module a version? I know that doesn't help with the PAUSE stuff. For the reindexing, you can try deleting the old distros then trying to force a reindex. https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=reindex -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org PAUSE instructions: http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about Archives: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules Please send all messages back to modules@perl.org with no CC to me.
