Subject:

contrib modules show up on metacpan and are indexed

see https://metacpan.org/release/Net-IMAP-Simple -- contrib/SimpleX* are being indexed by PAUSE, because they is not in a recognized "internal" directory. Please move them to t/lib or examples/ to make it clear they are not meant to be installed.

It's meant to be installed, it's just not installed by default. SimpleX is a better way to do Simple; but it significantly changes the way the whole module works, so the guy that wrote it (Jason Woodward) and I decided to stick it in contrib and give a question during perl Makefile.PL. Perhaps it should be in a whole nuther module space. That's a solid point, but that's not what we did. That seems like a great plan actually. I think I really will split it apart. -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 116 jumps, 48.6 minutes of freefall, 92.9 freefall miles.

Hrm, on second thought. It's been default for a while now. I think I'll just remove the optional-ness of the install of it. -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 116 jumps, 48.6 minutes of freefall, 92.9 freefall miles.

Could the files be moved into lib/ to avoid confusion?

I generally don't do that. I think it's fine to leave them in the root folder and don't agree that it causes any confusion at all. I went ahead and moved them this time though. -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 116 jumps, 48.6 minutes of freefall, 92.9 freefall miles.

I made various other changes too. I'm currently waiting on the outcome of a PR to release, so I'm marking this patched rather than resolved... -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 116 jumps, 48.6 minutes of freefall, 92.9 freefall miles.
