module at search.cpan.org but cannot be downloaded from cpan.org

zby has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

There is a module I can find using search.cpan.org: HTML-Widget. But it is not available in the list of all modules at cpan.org: modules starting with HTML. I cannot download it from search.cpan.org because it redirects to a mirror where there is no such module.

It looks like the module is very new. Wait a couple of days and your local mirror should have it. Phil	[reply]

I know I can wait - but still why it is not on the list at cpan.org? Usually the mirror I use pick the modules in a few hours, now I am afraid that there is something wrong at cpan and the mirrors cannot download the module.	[reply]

New modules may take a couple of days to make it to all the mirrors. It depends on the particular mirror's update schedule. Which list at cpan.org (and what item) do you think is missing? -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com> Subscribe to The Perl Review	[reply]
