Hi CPAN Guys; Pardon my frustration, after wrestling with Perl's versioning issues (distribution vs file vs formats vs ...), getting fairly successfully through cpantesters and Kwalitee, and then when I think I've finally got a Proper release, I get a brand new puzzle.
I guess the first question is: What is the impact of failing the PAUSE indexer on a Version parsing problem? (It seems that both CPAN & CPANTesters are seeing the new module) There was no issue raised in CPANTesters with development releases (with underscore); presumably they don't get "indexed". The version number is overtly in the upload, and also should be in META.yml. Thanks; bruce -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Failed: PAUSE indexer report BRMILLER/LaTeXML-0.8.0.tar.gz Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 18:29:13 +0000 From: PAUSE <upl...@pause.perl.org> To: nebcon...@gmail.com, andreas.koenig.gmwojprw+pa...@franz.ak.mind.de The following report has been written by the PAUSE namespace indexer.

It is trying hard, but sometime it fails.
