Hi Steve,
The PAUSE user RAJ (Rajkumar Reddy) has the first-come permission on Net::MyIP,
which is why your upload wasn’t added to the CPAN index.
As you noted, it’s no longer on CPAN, but you can see the two releases he did
on BackPAN:
https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/R/RA/RAJ/
I
So with the help of Perlmonks, the cause is that the distribution
already exists... on backpan.
I couldn't see the name was in use because I didn't check there. PAUSE
gave no indication.
Is there a way I can claim the name Net::MyIP since the original author
must have deleted theirs?

Hey all,
I authored and uploaded Net::MyIP a couple of days ago. It shows up on
the cpan.org's "Recent Uploads" page, yet it doesn't show up under my
STEVEB page, nor is it available through cpanm.
Is there a problem with indexing, or have I done something wrong?
Thanks!
Steve
