in reply to Why isn't a newer version of a module installable from cpan?

If you look at the Makefile.PL, you'll find that PALANT is still listed as the author, so when you try to download it from CPAN, the PALANT v0.4 supplants MISHOO's v0.5, even though v0.5 is the current version.

    Nice theory, got anything to back it up?

      Yes. In addition to the Makefile.PL, PALANT is still listed as the author in the README and META.yml.
        Um, how is that proof that its the reason 02packages.details.txt.gz/modlist doesn't list it, even though its been shown it should?
