in reply to CPAN versioning woes

I noticed that when exploring the release metadata (click on MetaCPAN Explorer) for versions v0.63.2 and v0.90.1, the 63 says "status" : "latest", while the 90 says "status" : "cpan". I'm not sure what the precise interpretation is (MetaCPAN::Client::Release just lists the possible values, "latest", "cpan", and "backpan", but doesn't explain them).

Did you get an email from Pause detailing the results of the indexing? It usually says whether there were any problems. Or maybe there were some problems on the server side and it needs several more days to catch up?

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    OMG, yeah the email. Lost in spam folder. :-( You hit the nail on the head, thanks for the tip!

    Transferring the version to the dummy submodule broke in my release chain. Cpan refuses to consider what then looked like a decreasing version.
