Bug Information
Severity: Normal
Broken in: 1.1.5
Fixed in: (no value)



Subject: please use standard packaging
Cooser-1.1.5.tar.gz contains its "payload" below two levels of directories: Chooser-1.1.5/Chooser/ This is unusual and always a bit irritating. Certainly, things work nearly just the same. But what purpose serves the extra directory? Unless there is a special reason for it, I'd suggest to produce a tarball that behaves just like the rest of CPAN. Thanks,

Whoops, much thanks for pointing that out to me. It looks like that most likely happened do to accidentally copying the wrong directory when I rolled the tar ball. Re-rolled and uploaded it as 1.1.6.
