I submitted a bad tarball to pause. I realised my mistake a few seconds later and then got an email from pause reaffirming my suspicions. Immediately, I tried submitting a valid tarball, but was bitch slapped by pause, which said that I couldn't submit two tarballs with the same name. Well, my next idea was to delete the bad tarball. So I clicked on the delete menu choice, saw my bad tarball, and tried to delete it. But I had to schedule the deletion, which cron would take care of in 3 days. Now I had to wait 3 days or I could just bump the version number of my module and resubmit it. However, I didn't want to do so. Why should I? I made a mistake and wanted to correct it. So I sat there, like a good Perl programmer, and waited the entire 3 days. Then I visited pause again and to my satisfaction saw that the bad tarball was indeed gone. Okay, time to upload the module again. Bam! Smack! Got rejected! Same error: two tarballs with the same name is a no-no. But I thought I had deleted it. Apparently not. So, I then waited another 2 weeks, just in case the deletion needed to propagate (I am guessing here.) Tried uploading again and got the usual error. At this point, I bumped the version number. I wish I didn't have to . . . Any suggestions on what to do next time (other than make sure your tarball is valid)? I also tried the 'repair pending upload' link, but that didn't work at all. Thanks

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
