Subject:

Really bizarre tarball layout

You should take a look at the way you packed this module. It contains a really unusual file structure that confuses and breaks some things in some CPAN-scanning software.

The upload has sent the following message: " Distribution file: ChessKit-0.01.tar.gz Number of files: 17 *.pm files: 4 README: ChessKit-lib/ChessKit.pm/README META.yml: ChessKit-lib/ChessKit.pm/META.yml Timestamp of file: Sun Sep 25 15:52:53 2005 UTC Time of this run: Sun Sep 25 16:44:15 2005 UTC The following packages (grouped by status) have been found in the distro: Status: Successfully indexed". It appears that the distribution made with Module::Build seems to have introduce a directory with the ".pm" extension. I don't know if it's a bad use from myself or a bug because I'am not very familiar with this module. Anyway, I've checked the decompressing of the tarfile and I've not encountered any problem. I'll soon uploaded a manually tar file without the wrong intermediate directory.
