Hi perl module authors list:
I've been having trouble for some time getting two of my modules (listed in the
subject line) to be downloadable via the cpan shell.
I think it is a problem with getting the version number properly indexed. With
PDL::NetCDF in particular, I've tried several things. I've put a
META.yml in the top level directory, with these line is it:
provides:
PDL::NetCDF:
file: netcdf.pd
version: 4.1
indicating the current version which is 4.10. Yet under the CPAN shell on my
linux box, I get this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
cpan[2]> get PDL::NetCDF
Running get for module 'PDL::NetCDF'
The module PDL::NetCDF isn't available on CPAN.
Either the module has not yet been uploaded to CPAN, or it is
temporary unavailable. Please contact the author to find out
more about the status. Try 'i PDL::NetCDF'.
cpan[2]> i /PDL::NetCDF/
Module id = PDL::NetCDF
DESCRIPTION Reads/Writes NetCDF files from/to PDL objs
CPAN_USERID DHUNT (Douglas Hunt <dh...@ucar.edu>)
CPAN_VERSION undef
CPAN_FILE Contact Author Douglas Hunt <dh...@ucar.edu>
DSLIP_STATUS RdcOp (released,developer,C,object-oriented,Standard-Perl)
MANPAGE PDL::NetCDF - Object-oriented interface between NetCDF files
and PDL objects. Perl extension to allow interface to NetCDF portable binary
gridded files via PDL objects.
INST_FILE /ops/tools/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.2/x86_64-linux/PDL/NetCDF.pm
INST_VERSION 4.04
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I upload PDL::NetCDF to PAUSE, I get a helpful email back indicating that
it had been successfully indexed (an example is attached).
Could someone please help me get these two modules to be downloadable via the
cpan shell? Any pointers or hints much appreciated!
