in reply to How do I package a module and related apps for successful upload to cpan

In case it's of use or interest, a random search of CPAN just now found these distributions:

Googling found this background reference on GHCN: Dive into the Global Historical Climatology Network data using Perl and SQL by A. Sinan Unur. See also: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NOAA Global Historical Climatology Network Daily (GHCN-D).

    Yes, after your advice I found those too. I decided to repackage my collection under Weather -- but not Weather::NOAA simply because the code there is defunct and the author unreachable. Weather::GHCN::Fetch is my new package name.

    A quick look at Geo::WeatherNOAA says it's for grabbing forecasts from www.weather.gov. Looks like it once accessed http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/ but not any more. The url nws.noaa.gov is still ping-able, but doesn't return any response. Weather:: seems like a better place for that module (if it even works) and it shouldn't have NOAA in the name.

    CPAN has some cruft, that's for sure. Is there a process for cleanup?
