Thanks. I was able to disguise the '=head1' strings and I believe that this is fixed. I'll know next time I release it.	[reply]

Wrong S, L. The problem is with documentation being displayed on search.cpan.org, not PAUSE. All PAUSE does is figure out what versions of what modules are in a distribution. It assumes something is a module if it matches "`/package\s+[\w:]+\s*;/`" so if you want to "hide" a module from the indexer, the trick is to write the package declaration thus: `package # blahblahblah;` [download] but you very rarely have to do this. And in any case, PAUSE doesn't index pure documentation files - if you look in 02packages, nary a mention will you find of Date::Manip::TZ::$module. Unfortunately, the source for search.cpan.org isn't available. It's maintained by GBARR, so you might like to submit a bug report to him.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
