Subject: Version numbers confusing/Connection refused
The ls command in the CPAN shell reveals the upload date and in this case I was really grateful to have it: Show quoted text
> ls SARTAK/Test-WWW*tar.gz
18969 2007-11-02 SARTAK/Test-WWW-Declare-0.01.tar.gz 18885 2007-09-26 SARTAK/Test-WWW-Declare-0.01_01.tar.gz So you uploaded 0.01 after 0.01_01. But this is counterintuitive because the latter is larger when you ignore the underscore. Many software packages are confused by such an upload policy, see for example http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Test-WWW-Declare.html which lists the .01_01 before the .01. May I suggest you make a new release to clarify things? While you're at it, please also watch out for FAILs, e.g. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2402847 Thanks,

Yikes. Thanks for pointing that out. Show quoted text

My guess is that these are caused by older versions of HTTP::Server::Simple, which have a race condition in the initial connection to the server. I've bumped the dependency to hopefully fix this. Show quoted text
