The problem is that you uploaded a distribution called Ginger, but it doesn’t contain a module called Ginger. PAUSE now requires that all new distributions have a module of the equivalent name (so a distribution called Ginger-Snaps would have to include a module called Ginger::Snaps). This is a security measure, to prevent someone else messing with your namespace. You can read more about it in this blog post written by David Golden: http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/2414/this-distribution-name-can-only-be-used-by-users-with-permission/ Once you add a Ginger module, your next release should be indexed by PAUSE.
