Where can I find a resource on submitting a module using git? :) good question that should be in the FAQ I can't help, I've long given up the PAUSE, but I did find these which probably wont help much mentions git and pause :) Authoring CPAN modules paths stuff http://blogs.perl.org/users/john_mcnamara/2009/12/uploading-to-cpan-from-github.html ?? Perl modules on CPAN and github - oylenshpeegul's blog eww :) Dist::Zilla - Tutorial - Integrating Dist::Zilla with Git preparing for CPAN from github, Minilla::Tutorial says minil can push to CPAN from git repository	[reply]

Everything for git and uploading a module references this blog post http://blog.usarundbrief.com/?p=36 Which clearly no longer exists. The milla tool looks very promising. I will look into that. I used the module-start to set up my skeleton and just went from there, but maybe I should have looked into the Dist::Zilla too. When I get this figured out I will definitely thoroughly document it someplace!	[reply]

Everything for git and uploading a module references this blog post http://blog.usarundbrief.com/?p=36 Yes, but it still gives away the secret :) 1) have the cpan distrbution layout (module-starter guarantees this) 2) tag a release on github 3) give pause regular github tarball url with with a cpan dist style filename at end, ie give it http://github.com/username/perl-module-dist/tarball/tagname/Perl-Module-Dist-1.22.tgz And thats it, then press “Upload this URL” and you're done The caveats are, don't forgot to `make manifest`... so you have a MANIFEST and META.yml in the git repo	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you so much for the reference to milla! It is a lifesaver! So for anyone who was wondering when I was using PAUSE I was using the upload a url option. Using a git I created a branch for each version (like the git workflow best practices recommends) and was using the URL to that branch. I think that what happened is that it needs to be an archive, tar or zip. So if I had used https://github.com/jerowe/Annovar-Wrapper/archive/Annovar-Wrapper-1.1.zip maybe that would have been ok, but just giving PAUSE https://github.com/jerowe/Annovar-Wrapper/tree/Annovar-Wrapper-1.1 did not work. As it turns out the PAUSE upload form says archives only, but I thought that it had a utility for git since I saw that referenced. I'm going to just use milla, but its nice to know how to do it both ways. ;) A big thanks to everyone for your help!	[reply]

Most of the submission process is covered in the About PAUSE page. Have you read this? Specifically what more do you need to know than is covered in this document? The fact that you have chosen to use git as your version control system should not be relevant. Once you've built the distribution tarball and tested it yourself just follow the submission instructions which apply regardless of the repository. By the way, your last 2 posts have come in as Anonymous. It would probably help you to keep track of responses, etc. if you were to login.	[reply]
