This can easily happen (but doesn't happen very often). On PAUSE, the uploaded files share a common incoming directory and people can point to the wrong one and. No serious problem. -- andreas

Hi, My name is Brian Ingerson. I am a programmer for 'epixtech inc', a leading library automation software vendor. I write all of my code in Perl and have done so for the past two years. I am also an active and contributing member of the Seattle Perl Users Group (SPUG http://www.halcyon.com/spug/) where I recently (last night) gave a talk about XS and the Perl internal C API. My most recent Perl work has involved writing wrapper modules to existing API-s within our company and invoking them behind an XML/RPC mod_perl server. This work has taught me the requisite knowledge for creating Perl modules suitable for uploading to CPAN. (Using h2xs, XS, MakeMaker, etc) I would like to get registered to contribute to CPAN.

Re: module CDDB-0.9.tar.gz
This happened because both you and Michael Koehne (userid: KRAEHE ) have uploaded a distribution called CDDB-0.9. And Michael's was uploaded after yours. However looking in the files in K/KR/KRAEHE they look like copies of yours. Andreas, any ideas how this happened ? Graham.

(i'm a first-timer) Yes. You uploaded a module that already existed. I do not know why CDDB is listed under Michael Koehne, though. Rocco Caputo is the author of CDDB: http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/R/RC/RCAPUTO/ >how to find a good place in the namespace tree? Well, look on CPAN or at search.cpan.org to see if it already exists. Although this seems like it may be a PAUSE bug; I thought that no one could upload "DistName-\d+.\d+.tar.gz" if DistName already belonged to another author. -- Chris Nandor | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pudge.net/ Andover.Net| [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://slashcode.com/

My Module List entries (MGH)
CGI::Session was an idea from 1995 that I never implemented and no longer intend to tackle. I get mail asking about it every few months -- I think it should be removed from the list so someone else can do it. CGI::Response is something I wrote. The responsible party is listed as CGIP, which was a mailing list I created in 1994 or 1995 with Tim Bunce to talk about such things. CGIP is no longer in existence -- Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm effectively took its place. As such, I would be happy to have CGI::Reponse listed as author "MGH" so people can send me requests about it. -Marc
