Subject: Wrong distribution name
Hi Marc-Sebastian, Your module Games::Freelancer::UTF was released to CPAN in a release called FLUTF-1.001 But various CPAN tools and utilities would expect the dist name to be: Games-Freelancer-UTF which is derived from the module name. The Makefile.PL sets the name to: NAME=>'Games::Freelancer::UTF', which means that if you run: perl Makefile.PL make dist You would end up with a dist name of Games-Freelancer-UTF. Furthermore, in META.yml the dist name is set to: name: Dotiac Which looks like a copy and paste job from one of your other releases :-) As a result neither the metadata dist name nor the release file dist name matches what you'd expect from the module name. This can cause problems for people automatically processing CPAN distributions. I generated a list of such dists on CPAN, which is where I came across yours: https://gist.github.com/neilbowers/10060761 Would you mind correcting the dist name in META.yml and the release file name please, as it will make life ever-so-slightly-easier for tool geeks and pedants like me ;-) Thank you, Neil
