Hi, Bradley. You've run afoul of some very recent changes to tighten security of PAUSE. Specifically, you need to "own" the namespace "Convert::Pluggable" to be able to upload a distribution starting with "Convert-Pluggable-*". However, PAUSE should be able to see that you are the first person to upload "Convert/Pluggable.pm" with the package "Convert::Pluggable" and assign permissions to you on the fly. So I suspect there might be a bug in the recent change to PAUSE and I've copied the relevant people.
That said, the Convert-Pluggable-0.014.tgz you uploaded looks very odd. The directory inside is not "Convert-Pluggable-0.014" and it contains a "blib" directory, a "Makefile" and "MYMETA.*" files. It looks like you just tarred your development directory and that's wrong. You should run "make dist" and the makefile will create a proper tarball for you and that's what you should upload. I don't think that's the problem, but I mention it both to help you do it better next time and to help those who can look into the bug to rule it in or out as a cause. So... please be patient and let us try to resolve the bug. You can follow along on a ticket I opened here: https://github.com/andk/pause/issues/108 Apologies for the problems but thank you for being persistent in asking for help.
