Manually installed latest version, but cpan doesn't understand the version of this one either: $ perldoc -l K /home/nbkp1nr/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux/K.pm $ cpan -D K CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.27) Reading '/home/nbkp1nr/.local/share/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Mon, 26 Mar 2012 19:12:09 GMT K ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPAN: Module::CoreList loaded ok (v2.49_02) (no description) W/WH/WHITNEY/K-0.02.tar.gz /home/nbkp1nr/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux/K.pm Installed: undef CPAN: undef up to date Whitney Jackson (WHITNEY) whitney@cpan.org Just to be sure, checked version with .04 explicitly as first version on include path: $ perldoc -l K /tmp/K-0.04/blib/lib/K.pm $ cpan -D K CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.27) Reading '/home/nbkp1nr/.local/share/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Mon, 26 Mar 2012 19:12:09 GMT K ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPAN: Module::CoreList loaded ok (v2.49_02) (no description) W/WH/WHITNEY/K-0.02.tar.gz /tmp/K-0.04/lib/K.pm Installed: undef CPAN: undef up to date Whitney Jackson (WHITNEY) whitney@cpan.org cpan version 1.9800

I uploaded v0.05 where the version and abstract are specified more completely. Hopefully, that will fix this.

cpan -D now shows correct version of manually installed module now, but still can't get the version from CPAN correctly. Off a clean install it still installs .02 However, cpan minus does not have this problem, and it correctly grabs the latest version... On Thu Apr 05 01:48:18 2012, WHITNEY wrote: Show quoted text

This is to do with the fact that cpan is using a packages list that is a week and half old.
