Hi all,
I noticed search.cpan is acting differently now (probably due to the HOOO

are missing, modules I own in the modulelist are showing up as **
UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE **, modules are missing from search results,
different mirrors are behaving differently, etc.)
Also, I can't seem to find the search.cpan source. Could someone provide
a pointer to it?
search.cpan is not an official perl.org as such.
It's written and owned by Graham, and blessed with the domain name as
the best implementation of this functionality.
As for your unauthorized release, they are because you made unauthorized
releases :)
You released modules without getting permissions on all of the namespaces.
I suggest you rectify the problem and do an authorized release :)
The problem seems to have fixed itself. The module in question was
Test::WWW:::Selenium::Catalyst, which is the only module in the dist and was
registered to me in the modulelist... but it was only a developer release and
I had never uploaded a real release. Corner case...

I've been wondering if that was available too. AFAIK, the sources of search.cpan.org, nicknamed TUCS, have never been made available.
