Subject: XML::SAX::Base Not Indexed by CPAN
Dear Kip Hampton, Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I found that your XML-SAX-Base-1.04 is not in the CPAN repository index. I tried to investigate further. You seem to be writing XML::SAX::Base with Makefile.PL, but not having a Base.pm within your distribution. The CPAN repository cannot identify your XML::SAX::Base in this case, and hence your XML-SAX-Base-1.04 is never indexed. I would suggest you to ship a Base.pm within your distribution, following the Perl module convention, so that CPAN can index it. The consequence is that, for other modules that require XML::SAX::Base 1.04 to work, such as ASCOPE/XML-Generator-RFC822-RDF-1.1.tar.gz, the required XML::SAX::Base 1.04 is never found. Users installing these modules with the CPAN or CPANPLUS shell will fail installing their prerequisite XML::SAX::Base 1.04. The terminal log is attached below. Hope that this helps. Please tell me if you need any more information, or if I could be of any help. Thank you. imacat@rinse ~ % gunzip -c ~/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz | grep XML::SAX::Base XML::SAX::Base 1.02 K/KH/KHAMPTON/XML-SAX-Base-1.02.tar.gz imacat@rinse ~ %
The dynamic generation of lib/XML/SAX/Base.pm is now done at release time rather than install time (although the generator script is still included in the distribution to allow for patches). The CPAN indexer has picked up the new versions since 1.06.
