Re^4: Something wrong with metacpan.org? (or Astro::Montenbruck)

The ExtUtils find is weird

I've never ever had to use a dash instead of colons to find a module with ExtUtils::Installed. I think that since Astro::Montenbruck can be found by ExtUtils with a dash, and not found with the usual colons, suggests that the author put a dash in some config file where there should have been colons. I tried the dash out of desperation and was shocked that it worked.

Perhaps this is related to the failure to install the scripts?

Indeed: https://metacpan.org/release/KRUSHI/Astro-Montenbruck-1.26/source/Build.PL#L5: `module_name => 'Astro-Montenbruck',` [download] Compare it to https://metacpan.org/release/LEONT/Module-Build-0.4232/source/Build.PL#L26: `module_name => 'Module::Build',` [download] `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks for looking into it choroba. We found the bug in Astro::Montenbruck but is there also one in Module::Build? One would think Module::Build could detect the inconsistency and die with helpful warnings. It's also evident that Astro::Montenbruck does not install its scripts because the "script_files" array is missing in the Build.PL Finally, metacpan has a problem handling unicode in "raw code" view (all modules afaik): https://fastapi.metacpan.org/source/KRUSHI/Astro-Montenbruck-1.26/README.md	[reply]

PR to address the module_name and script files issue.	[reply]
