Subject: Test.pm is indexed by CPAN tools
The Test.pm module in your distribution is indexed by CPAN and other tools while it is only private for your distribution. For example: http://cpants.perl.org/dist/provides/HTML-Widgets-Index Also the module name conflicts with a module which is in the Perl core since 5.00405. This cause problem to tools that analyse CPAN dependencies. For exeample the page http://cpants.perl.org/dist/prereq/Win32-EventLog lists HTML-Widgets-Index as a dependency of Win32-EventLog because HTML-Widgets-Index provides Test.pm. It would be better to hide this module to the external world by doing the following: - rename the module to another name - move the module to the 'inc' subdirectory which is the standard private area never indexed by CPAN tools. -- Olivier Mengué - http://search.cpan.org/~dolmen/ http://github.com/dolmen/

I did just that and uploaded release 0.61 to PAUSE. I checked it is now in search.cpan. I hope it is solved now.
