Bug #94237 for Data-Variant: Module doesn't follow convention for the abstract section in pod

Subject:

Module doesn't follow convention for the abstract section in pod

Hi Viktor, The abstract for your Data::Variant module doesn't follow the conventions, and as a result MetaCPAN and search.cpan.org (and possibly other tools) can't extract an abstract for your module. This means that MetaCPAN doesn't present the module in the usual way, in search results. Only a few small changes are needed! The abstract is currently: =head1 NAME Data::Variant -- Variant datatypes for perl. This should be: =head1 NAME Data::Variant - variant datatypes for perl The changes are: got rid of the extra space before 'NAME', changed '--' to '-'. If you're not interested in Perl any more, I'd be happy to do a release for you. If you are happy to give me co-maint permissions, my PAUSE id is NEILB. Cheers, Neil

Hi. Hopefully this is fixed in 0.05 which I just uploaded - though I doubt anyone has used this module in the last ten years. :) -Viktor

I did consider saying "or you could just remove all copies from CPAN", but I thought that would be a bit cheeky ;-) Neil
