Subject: Not a bug exactly, but a problem installing Text::CSV::Slurp with cpanminus
Date: Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:28:47 +0100

Not sure if this is a problem with Text::CSV::Slurp, cpanminus or some mirrors specifically, but lately I have been having intermittent errors when trying to install Text::CSV::Slurp using cpanminus. The problem is with certain mirrors, but I'm not sure why (I assumed all mirrors should be more or less equal?). Below is part of the output I get from two separate runs to install Text::CSV::Slurp, using two --mirror clauses, the first fixed at xs4all.nl (closest to me), the second the fallback to search.cpan.org. As you can see the first try fails, while the second succeeds.

OK Successfully installed Text-CSV-Slurp-0.9 1 distribution installed Installed package Text::CSV::Slurp I'm assuming the second run succeeds because the search.cpan.org geo location aware redirector points me to a mirror that apparantly does have the correct files. Is there any way to find out what's really going on and why some mirrors seem not to have (the correct?) Text:CSV::Slurp. One thing I noticed is that the downloads above all go for 'authors/id/R/RO/ROBBIEBOW/', while the download link on the cpan website points to 'authors/id/B/BA/BABF/Text-CSV-Slurp-0.9.tar.gz'? Thanks for any hints, tips, reply, etc... Thijs
