That's true - my comments applied to an archive that had a name like PPM-some-other-cpan-distribution.tar.gz which is the default name for a PPM archive built with (a recent) Module-Build (but could in principle be built by hand). This applies in particular to PPM-NetStumbler-Wap-0.04, which just contains a blib/ directory, but as Module-Build becomes more popular, this problem will surface with others, and labelling them as failures is misleading. -- best regards, randy
