Doug, all - To be clear, when I fire up CPAN and type the command you supply, I get this output:
cpan[1]> i /PDL::NetCDF/ CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.27) Reading '/home/visitors/dcmertens/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Tue, 08 Nov 2011 06:29:47 GMT CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v6.02) CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.972101) Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.msi.umn.edu/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Reading '/home/visitors/dcmertens/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz' CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.033) ............................................................................DONE Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.msi.umn.edu/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Reading '/home/visitors/dcmertens/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz' * Database was generated on Mon, 28 Nov 2011 06:29:30 GMT * ............................................................................DONE Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.msi.umn.edu/modules/03modlist.data.gz Reading '/home/visitors/dcmertens/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz' ............................................................................DONE Writing /home/visitors/dcmertens/.cpan/Metadata 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) INST_FILE (not installed) Notice the emphasized line. If I understand this correctly, this means that the packages file was last updated this mornig at 06:29:30, GMT. I believe that if you check back after the package list has been updated to a time-stamp after you submitted the new module, it should have the correct information.
