Re: How CPAN identifies a package as a module or documentation?

in reply to How CPAN identifies a package as a module or documentation?

one package (Siebel::Srvrmgr) that is really only documentation (POD) and is identified as a module.

Yet, that .pm file starts with

package Siebel::Srvrmgr;

our $VERSION = '0.02';
[download]

Which magic do you expect the CPAN indexer to have?

Now, I do not claim to know how the indexer works, but I would try putting documentation only in a file whose name end with .pod instead of with .pm

FWIW, search.cpan.org's indexer is generally not referred to as the "CPAN Indexer", and its mostly closed-source ( see How does the CPAN indexer determin documentation ) On the other hand https://metacpan.org/release/Siebel-Srvrmgr only lists modules	[reply]
