Re^2: my pod isn't showing up on search.cpan.org but shows on metacpan (module name, manifest, preview)

Thanks very much for your reply. I had a slight inkling that was it but didn't really think it through.It's a little cryptic but, oh well, off I goto change my module.

Is this fact documented somewhere? I check my pod on the command line with perldoc.

s/cryptic/convention/ It has been a convention for more than a decade -- probably documented somewhere (i don't know where), maybe https://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_namingmodules, maybe http://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html, maybe perlnewmod, maybe (UTSL) http://github.com/andk/pause, maybe perlpodstyle, perlmodstyle, perlutil, perlglossary, I really can't be bothered to track it down	[reply]
