Yes, it should. Poor phrasing on my part, by "don't need to index" I meant "don't need to go through the dist looking for files" - at which point having no_index at all is unnecessary, and no_index-ing lib/ is just weird, and therefore downstream didn't handle it right. You didn't do anything *wrong*, you just did something sufficiently *odd* to surface an insufficiently tested code path. Now I've explained my mis-phrasing, does that make more sense? -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our CPAN commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team.
