in thread List all available modules available online

There's a file called ls-lR available on most CPAN mirrors, which lists every file on CPAN, but doesn't peek inside tarballs. So it lists Arff-Util-1.23.tar.gz. It's many megabytes in size though.

I've asked about this module in #toolchain on IRC for you, and miyagawa has spotted the reason Arff-Util is not in the module index. Arff-Util 1.24 was uploaded to CPAN, which pushed Arff-Util 1.23 out of the index. Arff-Util 1.24 was subsequently deleted.

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

    Thanks for this information, and for going the extra mile to figure out the problem with this distribution. Did Miyagawa use a special admin trick, or did he just check backpan and compare with current cpan, or did he do something else to figure out that the distribution had been deleted?

      BackPAN.
