Re^16: Looking for the maintainer of Sendmail::Milter.

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.

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]
