Hi Moritz,

Thanks for that. So if something is on one of the search engines (eg cpan) in version 0.19, then it will the same version everywhere because they all use the same upload server and mirrors. Is that correct?

Regards

Steve

    Yes, that is correct, though of course the search indexes on the various websites aren't updated immediately (but in batches), so if usually takes a few hours for a new release to show up on search.cpan.org. I'm not sure about the time delays of the other sites, but I'd guess they won't lag behind more than a day.
