I've just tried again with 0.12 to see what happens. -- Andy Armstrong, hexten.net

Anyway, the PAUSE indexer has failed because:

R/RB/RBOW/Geo-Cache-0.06.tar.gz has a higher version
number
(0.1)
I spoke to Rich Bowen (the original author) and agreed that I'd take
over the module and release a new version - but obviously I can't
because PAUSE thinks Geo::Gpx is part of Geo::Cache. Does anyone know
what I should do? I could ask Rich to make a release of Geo::Cache
that had Geo::Gpx as a dependency rather than bundling it - does
anyone know if that'd fix it?
That would probably fix it. You should also bump the version number of your
module to 0.11, to placate the PAUSE indexer. If Geo::Cache needs an older
version of Geo::Gpx to be bundled with it, make sure the $VERSION in (the
bundled) Geo::Gpx is lower than the real CPAN version. That should prevent
future version problems.
Hope that helps.
