Re: Uploading a new version as a CPAN maintainer

I'm afraid it will show up as my own project under my own name when I'd like it to just go to the author's space where it belongs.

The version you upload will show up under your ID, not the previous author's ID. However, from your CPAN page for the module, users can look at previous versions by selecting "Other Releases". Similarly, from the previous author's CPAN page for the module, users can click on the "Latest Release" link to get to your latest version.

Links to the documentation I am obviously overlooking welcome :)

I don't know of any, other than the PAUSE site.

Merci beaucoup toolic, I'll run on this basis. I thought anonmonk was on the right path, but I was hoping to make this as seamless as possible for existing users. Using extra command-line options or other modules to find out if it is the latest or not doesn't seem so convenient. I'll up the current release of the distribution and find out what I find out. Thank you for your input :) Steve ps. The simplistic module is CGI::Application::Plugin::PageBuilder	[reply]

Using extra command-line options or other modules to find out if it is the latest or not doesn't seem so convenient. And its something you absolutely do not have to do. cpan Wx always installs the latest version as reported by the module list (highest version number by a co-maintainer).	[reply]
