The bit about the $VERSION not being changed interests me. It is stated on PAUSE that you can't upload a module with the same $VERSION number twice. If this has occurred you should let the PAUSE team know as it is a bug with their unwrapping code.

You can't upload a file with the same filename as any previous upload. If you don't update $VERSION, that means you can upload the same version twice, as long as the distribution filename is different.

That's not a rule I've ever seen anywhere, nor is it enforced, nor practical.

I upload a new index.html file about every two months. Always the same name.

Yes, a file named index.html may be uploaded more than once. I didn't mention the exception, because I didn't think it would be relevant information. It is now, though :)

From http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about, I quote:

Please, make sure the filename you choose contains a version number. For security reasons you will never be able to upload a file with identical name again. This strict requirement does have one exception: documentation files may be overwritten. There's a simple regular expression that draws the line between docu und code: /(README|readme|\.html|\.txt)$/. Filenames matching this RE can be uploaded as often as you like. By the way: it is highly appreciated, if your packages come tarred and gzipped with a Makefile.PL, so they can be installed in a standard way.

Ah, should have RTFM more closely. I would think that is not what you want though. $VERSION 0.01 should be fixed in time and place. If it needs updating that should be $VERSION != 0.01
