Greetings, I am having trouble updating CPAN modules for the CGI::Test distribution, and am seeking assistance to resolve the issue.
CGI::Test was originally created by Raphale Manfredi <RAM> and was transfered to Steve Fink <SFINK>. Steve Fink recently transferred ownership to me. There are a number of modules included in the distrubution (listed below) that are not owned by SFINK nor myself. They are still owned by Raphael Manfredi. I have uploaded a new distribution of CGI::Test, and although search.cpan.org seems to see the updated modules, the PAUSE indexer is rejecting all but one (the top level CGI::Test module) of the modules in the distribution. I contacted Raphael Manfredi to ask him to transfer ownerhip, but he hasn't been involved in the perl community for more than two years, and doesn't remember his PAUSE password. He suggested I contact the PAUSE maintainers to manually change the permissions. I am including his message below as well. The 'view permissions' page in the PAUSE interface suggests I contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] to address permissions problems. I greatly appreciate any assistance on this matter.

Just call me "Raphael". Quoting Steven Hilton: : According to the permissions searches in the PAUSE interface, you are : still the owner and maintainer of many modules related to the : CGI::Test distribution, and Steve Fink does not have permission to : transfer them. He may have never noticed because he never uploaded a : new version of the files. I don't know. I forgot my PAUSE password. And this looks like a PAUSE problem, not something I could do myself. I don't recall claiming ALL the modules under the CGI::Test namespace! Did you try to contact the PAUSE folks for solving this problem? I would think they will be able to help you pretty efficiently. If not, let me know and I'll restore some files from DAT/CD-R where I have my PAUSE password in clear. Raphael -- Steven Hilton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://mshiltonj.com/>
