Hi Chris: Thanks for you suggestion. I'm not sure I understand, though.
First of all, given that the most recent version of PDL::NetCDF is 4.07,
would a file in the top level of the distribution tarball called
'version.pm', containing the text '4.07' or "$VERSION = '4.07';" help?
Secondly, I don't understand your second suggestion. What should I add
where to netcdf.pd? I thought that the problem was that the CPAN indexer
only looks at .pm files to find $VERSION, so why would special text in
netcdf.pd help?
I did do some reading in the module documentation on the CPAN site and
concluded that adding the version to the META.yml file would help.
Following this documentation, I added this line to Makefile.PL:
'META_MERGE' => {provides => {PDL::NetCDF => {file => 'netcdf.pd', version
=> 4.07}}},
which added these lines to META.yml:
provides:
PDL::NetCDF
file: netcdf.pd
version: 4.07
This seemed to work when I submitted it to PAUSE. I got a nice email
saying the indexer had found version 4.07. But still after all that
PDL::NetCDF cannot be downloaded or installed from the CPAN shell.
Still puzzled,
Doug
