Hi Nathan, I’m one of the PAUSE admins. PAUSE is the system used to upload Perl distributions to CPAN.
In 2005 you uploaded the first version of your Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::WebPivot module, with version 0.01. Unfortunately the naming of the upload file didn’t follow conventions, so various CPAN tools have problems with it. For example your module doesn’t appear in the MetaCPAN search engine, when people look at your page: https://metacpan.org/author/NATHANL And one part of the CPAN toolchain gets confused by the name of your distribution, which can also cause problems. There are at least two ways to fix this: 1. You could do a simple upload, that fixes the problem. See below. 2. We could delete the file from CPAN, so it can’t cause confusion. To fix the problem, if you still have the source lying around, you can do the following: edit WebPivot.pm and change the version to 0.02 perl Makefile.PL make dist upload Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-WebPivot-0.02.tar.gz to PAUSE If you’re not doing Perl any more, and/or aren’t interested in keeping this on CPAN, I can schedule its deletion for you. You’d get an email from PAUSE confirming this. Cheers, Neil
