Hi modules people I'm currently trying to sort out the situation regarding the distribution of XML:SAX::Base. My question is: did it work?
The back story is that XML::SAX::Base was released on CPAN, but some time later Matt Sergeant did a release of XML::SAX that included the XML::SAX::Base distribution as a subdirectory. This meant there were two versions of XML::SAX::Base on CPAN. I subsequently took over maintenance of XML::SAX and was blissfully unaware of the conflict and continued to make releases of XML::SAX with XML::SAX::Base included. The problem was reported to me quite some time ago but I have only just made time to resolve it. The action I took was to create a new release of XML::SAX::Base using the files out of the XML::SAX distribution since these seemed to include a number of small fixes applied since the 1.04 release on CPAN. I also created a new release of XML::SAX (0.99) without the XML::SAX::Base subdirectory and with an added dependency on XML::SAX::Base version 1.05. I then uploaded the two releases in this order: XML-SAX-Base-1.05.tar.gz XML-SAX-0.99.tar.gz I'm not sure if the order of uploads is important. I chose that order because I wanted to be sure that the dependency for XML-SAX was available at the time of the upload. I wonder however if the CPAN indexer may have ignored my XML-SAX-Base upload due to the presence of the version included in the then-current release of XML-SAX. Please let me know if I need to do anything more to resolve the issue. Regards Grant
