No, it indicates a fuckup in the FindBin::libs release process. From f#perl
07:34 -!- tiblock [~tiblock@23.252.106.118.16clouds.com] has quit []
07:34 < mst> it's been deleted from 02packages.details.txt.gz
07:34 < mst> I suspect that means the file has been removed from cpan
07:34 < mst> try doing 'reload index'
07:35 < qtplatypus> mst: Warning: Cannot install FindBin::libs, don't know what it is.
07:35 < mst> you'll find that cpan will now have noticed it doesn't exist
07:35 -!- ufd [~uf@58.48.29.78] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
07:35 -!- D-ion [~D-ion@ppp91-122-97-126.pppoe.avangarddsl.ru] has joined #perl
07:36 < mst> there was a v1.64.1 indexed
07:36 < mst> basically: he's broken it
07:36 < mst> but you could try
07:36 < mst> cpan LEMBARK/FindBin-libs-1.10.tar.gz
I sent mail to lembark@cpan.org telling him he needed to release a 1.65 or
something, but got no reply.
Having looked at the bug queue I think it may be worse due to the version.pm
stupidity having crept in; we'll see when LEMBARK releases another dist.
I've cc'ed this reply to rt.cpan.org in order to create an additional ticket
documenting the current situation.
Note that I've made modules@perl.org a *bcc* of this mail because I don't
want to accidentally attach us to the ticket :)
