I know what should I do: src/Version.pm: package Apache::mod_perl_guide; $VERSION = '1.26'; 1; Does this look good? At this point I'll solve it by removing the old versions from CPAN. And starting from the next release this should be clean.

If you want to use CPAN.pm as a distribution medium for the guide, you need to be careful about versioning. You need to tell people which module (or pseudo module) they should install in order to get the guide and you should then make sure that this module always carries the latest version number. You need to know that PAUSE is parsing the *.pm files in order ot guess the $VERSION. So when I look at 1.25, I find only one file that contains the $VERSION=1.25 and that is src/Version.pm. And that file does not have a package declaration, so PAUSE has no chance to guess which package is referred to. Note that PAUSE is parsing, not interpreting the code, so perl tricks do not work. You need to write pretty straightforward code. So, I hear you asking, "what should I do"? I believe that you should include the $VERSION=1.25 in your mod_perl_guide.pm where there is already a package declaration. If it doesn't work, let me know shortly after the upload, and I'll find a better suggestion. -- andreas

I'll try again. Ok, you it looks like you've hit some CPAN bug, indeed: i /guide/ DistributionS/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.22.tar.gz DistributionS/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.23.tar.gz istributionS/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.25.tar.gz Module Apache::mod_perl_guide (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.23.tar.gz) Module DB_File::Lock2 (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.25.tar.gz) Module Guide::Pod2Html (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.23.tar.gz) Module Guide::Pod2HtmlPS (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.23.tar.gz) Module My::DB (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.25.tar.gz) Module Pod::HtmlPsPdf::Book (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.25.tar.gz) Module Pod::HtmlPsPdf::Chapter (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.25.tar.gz) Module Pod::HtmlPsPdf::Common (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.25.tar.gz) Module Pod::HtmlPsPdf::Config (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.25.tar.gz) Module Pod::HtmlPsPdf::Html (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.25.tar.gz) Module Pod::HtmlPsPdf::RunTime (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.25.tar.gz) Module mod_perl_guide (S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.22.tar.gz) cpan> install mod_perl_guide Running make for S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.22.tar.gz Got another SIGINT cpan> install Apache::mod_perl_guide Running make for S/ST/STAS/Apache-mod_perl_guide-1.23.tar.gz ...while the latest version is 1.25. Something is wrong. I won't delete the previous versions of the Guide now, so whoever handles CPAN now (I think it's Jarkko Hietaniemi) will be able to verify and debug this apparently broken behavior. BTW, my CPAN client's version is 1.56 search.cpan.org returns a correct version (the latest): http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=mod_perl_guide So Matt please use this link for now.

OK, again I typed in the CPAN shell: install Apache-mod_perl_guide And it tried to give me 1.22 again. Then I tried all sorts of ways of adding 1.25 onto the end of that to no avail. The only way I managed to get 1.25 installed by CPAN.pm was to type: install My::DB I seem to recall there was a better way via a Bundle:: or something, but I can't recall what it was, and nothing showed up under "i /guide/". -- Fastnet Software Ltd.

Exceptions section dropped?
I went to patch the exceptions section of the guide 1.22, and found it gone... Has it been dropped permanently or been misplaced? -- Fastnet Software Ltd.
