I looked in the CPAN FAQ > but it didn't mention this situation. What's up? The file COSIMO/Protocol-Modbus-0.05.tar.gz contains world writeable files and directories. PAUSE (the Perl Authors Upload Server) refuses to index such files because they pose a security hazard on the end user. The usual procedure for pause is to provide a replacement file without world writables that then can be indexed. Such a file did not exist when I looked, so maybe something went wrong when pause tried it the first time. I just scheduled such an indexing job and in a few hours you should be able to access Protocol::Modbus via one of the CPAN shells as you would expect. @cosimo: it would be nice if you could upload a replacement that has no world writeable files. http://blogs.perl.org/users/chorny/2011/07/how-to-get-rid-of-withoutworldwriteables.html @nimectos: Thank you for reporting this. -- andreas
