Re^3: Unable to install a particular CPAN module using CPAN

I did a peek at the permissions for fp on PAUSE.

FWIW, I've noticed you have a large number of lowercase namespaces reserved (see the bottom of this list). A little bit of investigation leads to a guess that an upload of the Prima dist happened to index all of the examples, which had a number of namespaces used. Perhaps you could go in to PAUSE and give up primary maintenance status of the namespaces you don't need?

Hm, right, yes. Here, I removed them. I've never applied for these namespaces in the first place, they somehow appeared automatically. Thanks for the find!	[reply]

FYI, namespaces need not be requested at all. Simply uploading a module will reserve the namespace for you as "first-come". As I said earlier, some files in the examples folder of Prima use some of the namespaces which were marked for you as "first-come". (see this example with "package dmfp;" on line 60). In any case, thanks for fixing up those permissions! Cheers. -- "Go up to the next female stranger you see and tell her that her "body is a wonderland."
