Subject: Mac OS X Cache Files
Hi there: While updating this package for Debian, I noticed that there are a lot of new files which are from Mac OS X (cache files or similar). These are files that begin with "._", such as: A + t/._access_name.t A + t/._access.t A + t/._dump.t A + t/._automethod.t A + t/._perlattrs.t A + t/._runtime.t A + t/._begin-coercion.t A + t/._coercions.t Since they're binary files which aren't useful to users, it's probably best to remove them since they waste space in PAUSE and the CPAN mirrors. Cheers, Jonathan

Thanks for the report, Jonathan. I've removed those pesky extended attribute files and reuploaded to CPAN. Damian
