in reply to CPAN Testers

I don't even see the module itself in CPAN. Have you received the e-mail confirming it's been indexed by PAUSE?

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

    Yes - nearly 11 hours ago!

    Google has it listed in search results and it is here

      Thanks for the link - it wasn't showing up in the main metacpan search. That is because you appear to have uploaded 2 releases within an hour of each other, one with version 0.1_1 and the other, apparently previous one, without any version info at all (and which has various other issues too). Since neither version number is a valid non-dev version it won't appear in the search results.

      Always ensure that the dist you upload has a valid version number otherwise you will encounter troubles like this.

      I would further recommend always uploading a non-dev release first. This should ensure the indexing and claim the namespace. If you start with version 0.00, it should be very clear to all users that this is the first release and unlikely to be perfect. Subsequent dev releases can address the issues there will doubtless be in this first release.

      HTH.

        That is because I made a mistake creating the .tar.gz and PAUSE wasn't able to index it. So I then uploaded the correct one.

        Interesting - I seem to recall reading the opposite advice but it might have just been what seemed logical!

        I need to upload a new version to cure some bugs and issues. Given where we are, would you suggest uploading v0.00 first and then v0.01_2 or going straight to v0.01_2?
