I cannot help you with the cpan-specific questions -- like the uninitialized errors -- because I set mine up with cpanm, not the default cpan client; sorry. But I do know that the location of the .cpanreporter directory changes depending on whether you have an installed strawberry or use the portable strawberry. Your original creation of the metabase_id.json file went where it would have been expected for the installed version, but you then used a portable, so it created a new one where portable-strawberry wanted it to be. It would make sense, then, that it would use the step-4 metabase_id rather than the step1-3 metabase_id.

I'm assuming these are the tests you were mentioning: I now see three, two with no name, and one with the name present. If so, your most-recent submission used your name.

I don't know if it's safe to edit the fields in the metabase_id.json, but it should be okay at least in the config.ini, though I haven't tried. The reason I'd be skeptical about the .json is that I don't know if the various GUID/UUID in the metabase_id.json have checksums built in compared to your real data. However, I do know that I've successfully copied my .cpanreporter folder to multiple versions of portable strawberry, and they all submit under my one name. So if you've got one .cpanreporter folder that has your name the way you like it, you can copy that into the appropriate locations for any portable or installed strawberry you might install, and it will use the same behind-the-scenes information for every submission.

(BTW: since you revealed your PAUSE ID here, and I remembered your sadness a few days back of so few passes in your CPAN submission, I just went and gave you a few versions worth of PASSes for the matrix; they should eventually hit the "normal" matrix at the next refresh -- which may be in the next hour or so, if it does it 24 hours after the last, like I've sometimes seen it do. Hope that helps. :-) )
