I was not clear in what I meant. Yes, you are correct in that the heirarchies are represented with "::". What I meant was that some of the file names within the heirarchy may have "::". Extending your example: Some-Module-0.01.tar.gz: Some/ Some/Module.pm Some::Module.readme.txt # this causes problems on non-Unix-like systems I have only run across this with one CPAN module. In that module, it was a documentation file that had the "::". Unfortunately, I don't remember which module it was. I'll see if I can locate it.
