All I can do is keep re-uploading the thing and see if pause will tell me why it didn't get indexed properly... Sorry for any inconvienence, 1.55 should be on Pause in the next few minutes.

Just to join in, I've been hit by the problem of this module 'disappearing' too. http://blogs.perl.org/users/chisel/2011/12/cant-locate-findbinlibspm-in-inc.html I've had a look at http://search.cpan.org/~lembark/FindBin-libs-1.55/ but can't see any obvious reason for it failing to index. I don't think our systems (and maybe CPAN) has seen it since 1.5100 $ perlversion FindBin::libs [FindBin::libs] 1.5100 This looks to have been removed from CPAN. There's nothing obviously broken in the META.yml differences: ➔ diff -Nau META.yml-1.51 META.yml-1.55 --- META.yml-1.51 2011-12-07 12:54:40.000000000 +0000 +++ META.yml-1.55 2011-12-07 12:54:26.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- #YAML:1.0 name: FindBin-libs -version: 1.51 +version: 1.55 abstract: Locate and 'use lib' directories along author: [] license: unknown @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ directory: - t - inc -generated_by: ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.56 +generated_by: ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.57_05 meta-spec: url: http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.4.html version: 1.4 Very strange!

May or may not be related but: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LEMBARK/FindBin-libs-1.55/lib/FindBin/libs.pm has: our $VERSION = v1.54; While META.yml has: version: 1.55

the $VERSION in http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LEMBARK/FindBin-libs-1.55/ lib/FindBin/libs.pm is 1.54: our $VERSION = v1.54; instead of 1.55. this looks like a good candidate for the problem.

Also, don't just change it to our $VERSION = v1.55; Because that's completely different from the 1.55 specified in the META.yml. v1.55 isa the same as 1.055. It would probably be best not to use the version string in the mode since it's not used in the packaging. out $VERSION = '1.55'; Would be better. You can see that v1.55 and 1.55 are not the same with the following: perl -Mversion -E 'say version->new("v1.55") == version->new("1.55") ? "yep" : "nope"' Also also that v1.55 is actually 1.055 with the following: perl -Mversion -E 'say version->new("v1.55")->numify'

I think this patch would fix the issue we're currently seeing and would prevent the same thing happening again in the future. Also attached as a patch file against 1.55.

Is this enough information to attempt a new release? If so - is there a rough ETA?

I'm in the process of splitting the module into two units for use on older perl distros (< v5.12). If I can avoid botching the Makfile.PL and MANIFEST long enough to get a working version then it'll be on Pause today.

WTF... it compiled here. Ack. Suggestion: Don't hack code at your mother's funeral. The 5.8.8 system here handles v-strings properly (at least where I've used them so far). The Makefile.PL uses an A.B string. There will be different versions for the three modules & the distro since each of them might change and I may modify the metadata separately from the modules. Any upload requires a new version in Makefile.PL, even if I only update the README. For example, I just updated the versions of libs_5_8.pm and Makfile.PL to account for the typo and to get a new version for the complete distribution file. I've added separate use_ok tests for each of the modules, so at least I won't ship you anything that doesn't compile any more.

update the README. This in one reason I finally decided to give all packages in a distro the same version number ... whether they changed or not they're part of the new distro x.yy. Trying to maintain different suv-versions per package was just an extra level of pain I felt I could live without.

At this point the two modules have the same version; from now on the 5_8.pm file will sit at 1.62, the current one will advance and I'll set the distro version from the current one. This is much easier to manage with Module::Builder.

At this point FB::l has been moved to Module::Build and uses $^V to check for post-5.10 versions. Eventually I'll have to add a switch for various versions; guessing there will eventually be some sort of $^V-specific alternative packaging built into M::B to handle this gracefully. So far as I know at this point the install works on any perl installation that supports M::B (which may exclude VMS at this point, I'm not sure yet). If VMS is a problem warn me and we can see what alternatives are available -- though M::B is the future so making that work will be the Right Way (tm).
