Hi Neil, sorry for the late reply. I've just scheduled my two DBIx-Class
releases on PAUSE for deletion. Best regards, Alex Am 2020-10-01 23:59, Neil

theoretical potential for someone to install the wrong version. Some of these
releases are 15 years old! And remember: all releases ever made to CPAN are
always available via BackPAN. > > I can schedule the deletions for you, if
