Hi, Monks, I'm hoping somebody else has also run into this problem.

We're maintaining a local CPAN repository for our in-house software and to control versions of regular CPAN modules. For our main application ("mercury") we've created a CPAN bundle called Bundle::Mercury listing all the modules we want installed when the mercury application is installed on a box. That much works fine the first time.

But now we're adding a new module to the list in the bundle and we've upgraded the version number on the bundle from 0.07 to 0.08. We'd like to be able to say "install Bundle::Mercury" and have it read the new module list from v0.08 in our CPAN repository, but what it does is read the *old* module list from the old Bundle/Mercury.pm file stored on disk. The only way to get CPAN to read the new bundle list seems to be deleting the old file on the local disk.

Is anybody else in the same situation and making it work?
