This is very curious. I don't recall ever making someone a co-maintainer. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Panayotopoulos, Alex <alex.panayotopou...@mastercard.com> Date: Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 7:45 AM Subject: Accidental update to Tie::Cycle To: "bd...@cpan.org" <bd...@cpan.org> Cc: "i...@theperlreview.com" <i...@theperlreview.com>
Hi brian, Whilst working through the book *Intermediate Perl*, chapter 21 exercises, I added the file Tie/Cycle.pm to my module Acme::AXP::Utils as directed, expecting my submission to be rejected. Instead, not only was the upload accepted, but I was made co-maintainer of the Tie::Cycle module, and my version was indexed on CPAN as the canonical version. Whoops! I’ve since deregistered as co-maintainer, and deleted this version (0.04) of my package from PAUSE, but I don’t know whether this will result in it being taken off CPAN as well. In any case, it’s not due to be deleted until this Friday. Luckily, I did not change any functionality in my upload, so all that’s happened is that it’s being distributed under the incorrect module. I just thought I’d let you know of the issue, and warn you that this is likely to happen again with future readers!
