Again:
1) mod_perl2.pm doesn't exit. Renaming the distro to mod_perl2 won't make any difference, since indexer does not look at the distro name.
That is a minor quibble; certainly we could create a vacuous mod_perl2 module if we really wanted to.
This is a really bad workaround, IMHO. As it breaks all the paradigms to start with.
2) this it's not going to help other modules. Example: there are two internally incompatible versions of Apache-Scoreboard (but which otherwise work identically for users): http://search.cpan.org/~stas/Apache-Scoreboard-2.02/ http://search.cpan.org/~dougm/Apache-Scoreboard-0.10/ Apache::VMonitor requires that module, how is it going to resolve the dependency if it's not indexed?
The same way it did before the mp2 candidates started showing up on CPAN. If your next release of Apache-Scoreboard used this patch in its META.yml
requires:
Apache::Test 1.10
- mod_perl: 1.9917
+ mod_perl2: 2.00
and the mp2 final release provided the mod_perl2 package, that'd do exactly what you wanted, no?
You've missed the point, Joe. It has nothing to do with modperl-core.
Apache::VMonitor requires Apache-Scoreboard. There are two different Apache-Scoreboard version on CPAN. If Apache-Scoreboard-2.02 is not indexed, Apache::VMonitor for mp2 can't automatically satisfy its prerequisites.
Besides I fail to see the relevance of that META.yml example, which is ignored by most CPAN clients, and Makefile.PL's prereq_pm is the one that is consulted (at least for now).
