Hi all: I just uploaded a new version (4.13) of PDL::NetCDF with changes
suggested by Sisyphus, Robert Ginko and kmx. None of these seem to have
helped with the cpan shell. It still shows:
------------------------------------------------------------
cpan[2]> get PDL::NetCDF
Running get for module 'PDL::NetCDF'
The module PDL::NetCDF isn't available on CPAN.
------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, I'm no longer getting the email from PAUSE telling of successful
indexing. I think this is because I got rid of the METAMERGE line in
Makefile.PL which adds info the META.yml.
I think I'll put back the META.yml file, but I'm not sure where to go from
there.

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'.
I get the same on MS Windows (perl-5.12).
Could someone please help me get these two modules to be downloadable via
the cpan shell? Any pointers or hints much appreciated!
Does META.yml serve any vital purpose ?
If not, I'd remove it altogether - it's existence is surely not part of the
solution. (None of my modules include that file.)
You could also try deleting some of those earlier builds (eg
PDL::NetCDF-4.05 and earlier). They'll still be available on backpan,
anyway ... and it'd be interesting to see whether the 'i PDL::NetCDF'
output then changes.
On top of that, I'm not even sure that there's much to be gained by having
PDL::NetCDF/PDL::Graphics::PLplot obtainable via the CPAN module. Any one
who wants either of those modules is probably just as happy to download and
install manually.
And it's unlikely that the cpan-testers have plplot or netcdf installed -
so there's nothing to be gained by making those modules available to them
via cpan either.
Still ... it'd be better if 'cpan -i' *did* work as advertised ... and if I
had a half-decent idea as to why that's not happening, I'd share it with
you :-)
Cheers,
Rob
