| Subject: | Backends other than CPAN don't find all modules? |
Hi there,
This might be a local system config issue, if so I'd appreciate any
pointers on tracing this.
It seems that anything other than CPAN as a backend has difficulty
finding all modules on CPAN, in particular CGI::Application -
http://search.cpan.org/~markstos/CGI-Application-
4.50/lib/CGI/Application.pm - as the following script hopefully
demonstrates:
$ cat podcheck.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
=pod
Test link to L<CGI::Application>
=cut
use Test::Pod::LinkCheck;
# CPAN seems to work fine, but CPANPLUS (the default) and CPANSQLite
both fail
Test::Pod::LinkCheck->new(cpan_backend => $_)->pod_ok('./podcheck.pl')
for qw(CPAN CPANPLUS CPANSQLite);
__END__
$ perl podcheck.pl
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.35)

CPAN is up to date (1.9800).
CPANPLUS is up to date (0.9130).
CPAN::SQLite is up to date (0.202).
