Hi Neil,
In this case, we're overriding a behavior from RT which puts a bunch of
methods in HTML::Mason::Commands:
https://github.com/bestpractical/rt-extension-formtools/blob/master/lib/RT/Interface/Web_Vendor.pm
I believe RT::Extension::FormTools was indexed correctly, which is the
main module. We don't want HTML::Mason::Commands indexed in this
context. I'll try adding that directory to no_index in the META file.
Out of curiosity, I searched for HTML::Mason::Commands on metacpan and
didn't see it in the results. I thought it was something we only did in RT.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi BPS,
In your release of RT-Extension-FormTools, you included a module
HTML::Mason::Commands. This wasn't indexed (the rest of the release
was), because there's a module of that name in the HTML-Mason
distribution, and indexing permissions associated with that.
To avoid this sort of clash, the usual solution, as I'm sure you're
aware, is to rename it to something under RT::Extension::FormTools::
Please rename this module and do another release. Although your
version isn't indexed, if someone installs your release, they could
unknowingly overwrite the real HTML::Mason::Commands.
Cheers,
Neil
