Hi y'all,
I don't know what is going on here, but I cannot explain the
following.
The search for category Development Support on search.cpan.org gives
the following list:
http://search.cpan.org/Catalog/Development_Support/
AutoSplit - Splits modules into files for AutoLoader
Benchmark - Easy way to time fragments of perl code
Carp::Assert - Stating the obvious to let the computer know
Devel::CallerItem - 'caller()' Object wrapper + useful methods
Devel::CoreStack - generate a stack dump from a core file
Devel::Coverage - Coverage analysis for Perl code
Devel::DProf - Execution profiler
Devel::DumpStack - Dumping of the current function stack
Devel::Leak - Find perl objects that are not reclaimed
Devel::Peek - Peek at internal representation of Perl data
Devel::PPPort - Portability aid for your XS code
Devel::RegExp - Access perl internal regex functions
Devel::SmallProf - Line-by-line profiler
Devel::Symdump - Perl symbol table access and dumping
Devel::TraceFuncs - Trace funcs by using object destructions
ExtUtils::DynaGlue - Methods for generating Perl extension files
ExtUtils::Embed - Utilities for embedding Perl in C/C++ apps
ExtUtils::F77 - Facilitate use of FORTRAN from Perl/XS code
ExtUtils::MakeMaker - Writes Makefiles for extensions
ExtUtils::Manifest - Utilities for managing MANIFEST files
FindBin - Locate current script bin directory
Make - Makefile parsing, and 'make' replacement
Rcs - Alternate RCS interface (see VCS::RCS)
Test::Harness - Executes perl-style tests
Usage - Type and range checking on subroutine args
VCS::CVS - Interface to GNU's CVS
However, looking at a CPAN mirror:
> pwd
ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/CPAN/modules/by-category/03_Development_Support/
> ls
AutoSplit/ Coy/ FindBin/ Perf/ Test/
Benchmark/ Devel/ Include/ Perlbug/ Usage/
ClearCase/ Exception/ Make/ Rcs/ VCS/
Conjury/ ExtUtils/ Module/ Sub/
The FTP archive had entries for ClearCase, Conjury, Coy Exception,
Include, Module, Perf, Perlbug, and Sub. On the other hand, search has
Carp::Assert that is not on FTP.
Any ideas?
