Do you mean this one? If so, it's in the right place. Yes, that's the one. I'm glad it's in the right place. :) In what way did it "came up against Sendmail::PMilter-1.00 instead of the dev release"? I mean that the only way I've found of getting to that list of issues is by going to https://metacpan.org/release/Sendmail-PMilter -- which shows Sendmail::PMilter version 1.00 (nothing that I can see about any version 1.20_01 anywhere) and then clicking the 'issues' link on that page. I haven't found a way of showing a page that even mentions that there's a development release called 1.20_01 that anybody might want to look at. You just need to set the "broken in" to the dev version. "Just." :) I've been trying to find a way to do that for an hour. I know there is a way because I stumbled upon it a few days ago and set the 'fixed in' versions to 1.20_01 for all the outstanding issues for 1.00. Unfortunately I didn't mark the path on my screen with a Chinagraph so I'm lost again. If it isn't already clear, each RT queue relates to one dist, not any particular release. No it wasn't clear, thanks for the clarification. How would I even know that there's a development release if I hadn't written it and uploaded it myself?	[reply]

Again, this is because you have released sendmail-pmilter and not Sendmail-PMilter. The dev (and alas lowercase) version is here. A casual browser is indeed unlikely to find this by accident because it is in a different (lowercase) namespace. If I were you I would bump the version to 1.20_02 and publish a new release in the correctly-capitalised namespace and then delete the 1.20_01 from PAUSE. Then all this confusion will go away.

Oh, dammit. I didn't know it used the name of the tarball for anything. I knew that it extracted the tarball ('cause that's what it says in the docs) and I guess I just assumed that it used the names of the modules that it extracted for the namespaces it was going to modify. What really bakes my noodle is http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=sendmail-pmilter%201.20_01 which appears to have collapsed everything to lower case. At a minimum that has to be a violation of the Principle Of Least Astonishment. Thanks all, I'll remedy my little blunder pronto.	[reply]

"How would I even know that there's a development release if I hadn't written it and uploaded it myself?" Your upload seems to have an issue. https://metacpan.org/about/missing_modules: Is it in the index? MetaCPAN uses the PAUSE-generated 02packages.details.txt file. If it's not in there, then the module author will need to fix this. (Authors are usually emailed about this when they upload a distribution). Also All-lowercase name.	[reply]
