Subject: Distribution name in metadata doesn't match dist name in release file name
Hi Scott, Many tools determine the distribution name for a dist from the release name, using CPAN::DistnameInfo. Using this you on your dist, you get 'pfacter'. But in the metdata, the distname is given as 'Pfacter'. This difference can cause problems. I created a list of all releases where the dist name in the metadata doesn't match the dist name in the release file name: https://gist.github.com/neilbowers/10060761 That's how I came across your dist. Can you release an update to correct this please, as it will help people who are trying to automatically process all dists on CPAN? If you don't have time right now, or have lost interest in this dist, or Perl, then I'd be happy to do a release. I would also resolve the other ticket, and make the distribution 'CPANTS clean'. My PAUSE id is NEILB, if you're happy to give me co-maint permissions. Cheers, Neil
