Subject: Full documentation no longer available on CPAN
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2016 10:42:00 +0000
To: bug-Test-MockObject [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Stephen Baynes <stephen.baynes [...] smoothwall.net>
Cpan is now (1.20150527) showing the documentation from README.pod where in older version (1.2012.03.01) there is no README.pod and the full documentation from Test/MockObject.pm dis displayed. This means that a lot of useful information - such as about the mock and fake_* functions - is no longer displayed and it appears the functionality no longer exists. This makes it unclear if the functionality is still supported, makes it difficult to access the documentation about it even if you know it exists and will put off new users as they will think the functionality is rather minimal.
README.pod is not a good file to ship in any case, because it is installed into PERL5LIB alongside .pm files -- in the case of this distribution, a README.pod at the root of the distribution will be installed into /Test/README.pod.
