Subject: DPAN fails to index common-sense-3.5 and W3C-LinkChecker
Perl version: 5.16.0 MyCPAN::App::DPAN version 1.28 Hi, I was attempting to create a CPAN from a large archive of tar.gz files. Others did fail but eventually passed I isolated the last two tar files that failed to be indexed (common-sense-3.5 and W3C-LinkChecker) and attempted to create a CPAN just from the two of them. dpan doesn't seem to be able to find any module in the tar. Please see debug output (failed_webworld_dpan.txt). Advice on how to get around the issue would be greatly appreciated. S

Thanks for the report. I've had time to look into both of these cases. common-sense doesn't have any module files until you build them. It uses the .PL feature to run sense.pm.PL to create blob/common/sense.pm. I don't think I'm going to be able to catch that one. W3C-LinkChecker-4.2.1.tgz also has no module files. It's there to install the file in bin/. As such, it doesn't have anything that would show up in 02packages. The full MyCPAN stuff handles both of these because it does much more than DPAN. As such, I'm closing this issue because the The way around these rare issues is extra_reports. You can create reports by hand for the odd case that we can't figure out. I've been playing with the idea of providing those reports for people so you don't have to index at all.
