Re^3: PAUSE is too clever (a minor matter)

guess I could create that file and insert by hand (if necessary) the appropriate 'no_index' entry that you provided ?

I think so, according to PAUSE About page:

The PAUSE indexer honours the contents of the no_index and the provides fields. All other fields are currently ignored.

The PAUSE indexer honours the contents of the no_index and the provides fields. All other fields are currently ignored Thanks, naikonta - that seems quite definitive. I'm still wondering whether there's a way to get MakeMaker to generate a META.yml that contains the 'no_index' entry - or do I have to edit by hand ? (This, of course, is purely academic - there's no reason that I can't manually insert the 'no_index' entry.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

This, of course, is purely academic - there's no reason that I can't manually insert the 'no_index' entry. Actually, there's a very practical reason for wanting MakeMaker to handle it (I don't know if it does). The next time you run `make dist` the changes you've made to `no_index` will be gone if you've just done it by hand. -- More people are killed every year by pigs than by sharks, which shows you how good we are at evaluating risk. -- Bruce Schneier	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I often see people write `MY` package that subclassing ExtUtils::MakeMaker in their `Makefile.PL` files. Theoritically, we can probably create a method that overrides/extends the part of MM that writes this `.yml` file. Of course, in order to do so, one needs to learn more on the MM internals. OTOH, Module::Build directly supports `no_index` section. You may wanto to consider to switch. Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can. Yet, share and enjoy!
