Subject: Installation is badly broken due to CPAN metadata problems
File::NCopy will not install the most current. Here's the problem so far as I can tell. Step 1 CPAN.pm considers the authorative distro for a module to be the NEWEST one that contains it. OpenPlugin happens to have bundled 0.32 in it, released a couple of months AFTER you released 0.34. So, CPAN.pm thinks the newest version if OpenPlugin/inc/whatever... Step 2 It finds out the version is 0.32, and then seperately tries to find a distro that is for 0.32. Step 3 Some how, it finds out that GABOR's old 0.32 package is the best one for 0.32, so it goes and gets that. oopsi, you already have that! "File::Spec is up to date (0.32)" And so all your good work has been lost. Solution: Release a new version just to fix the indexes. Then get OpenPlugin and anyone else to either make damn sure they keep their /inc modules up to date, or just don't include it.

Of course, I could be completely wrong about this... it might be some other problem. But 0.34 still definately won't install for me
