I now understand why so many people were voting for "censorship", with
so few defending the rights of the programmer. Given what we're dealing
with, I'm now in agreement that this "Module" is effectively spam, and
should be treated accordingly.

r ids have '-' in them (NI-S), and
also numbers (eg, WIN32).

That's not an ideal solution because, as Ron mentioned, it's
fragmented (to help in this, our CPAN search service at
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/faqs/cpan-search.html
returns results of available Win32 ppm packages,
including those of some external repositories, and I'm
quite willing to add others).

test cases. Yuk.
PAUSE understands no_index in a META.yml, so
no_index:
package:
- DBI::Test
should cause DBI::Test to be ignored by PAUSE.

ules; is this intended to mean to install
the file
$CPAN/authors/id/W/WW/WWW/RobotRules
on CPAN, if it exists, or perhaps install everything
within the directory, if it's a directory? Or did
you mean to install the module WWW::RobotRules?

Is this kind of update delay (days rather than hours) "normal" or has a cron
daemon stopped or something?
For the last two days rsync and ftp connections to
the master CPAN site (funet.fi) have been refused.

a query in CPAN.pm turns up some information on
it), but doesn't for modules (or pure pod files) like
Rose::DB::Object::Tutorial for which CPAN.pm doesn't
know anything about (ie, it doesn't appear in the
CPAN/PAUSE indices).

This doesn't seem any easier (and, in fact, seems
more prone to error) than the current
cpan> install KWILLIAMS/PathTools-3.14.tar.gz
or, as Andreas mentioned, using CPAN.pm to get a list
of recommended modules to update.
