What were the difficulties in the bug submission process? Bugs should not be difficult to submit, and if the submission form on savannah is going to be a problem for users, I'd like to know. > CPANPLUS can't find dir name to untar MHonArc2.5.8 into. > > I can install it by hand the usual way, no problem, but using > CPANPLUS, I get the following error report. perl is 5.008! > (really 5.8.0 RC2) on cygwin > CPAN Terminal> i /E/EH/EHOOD/MHonArc2.5.8 > Trying to get /pub/CPAN/authors/id/E/EH/EHOOD/MHonArc2.5.8.tar.gz from ftp.tk > u.edu.tw > Trying to get /pub/CPAN/authors/id/E/EH/EHOOD/CHECKSUMS from ftp.tku.edu.tw > Checksum for /home/lang/.cpanplus/authors/id/E/EH/EHOOD/MHonArc2.5.8.tar.gz O > K > Untarring /home/lang/.cpanplus/authors/id/E/EH/EHOOD/MHonArc2.5.8.tar.gz > Running [gzip -cd /home/lang/.cpanplus/authors/id/E/EH/EHOOD/MHonArc2.5.8.tar > .gz | tar -tf -]... > Could not read dir name from /home/lang/.cpanplus/authors/id/E/EH/EHOOD/MHonA > rc2.5.8.tar.gz in CPANPLUS::Internals::Extract::_untar at Wed Jul 3 09:56:09 > 2002 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/CPANPLUS/Internals/Extract.pm line 22 > 3 > Could not obtain extraction directory for module MHonArc2.5.8.tar.gz in CPANP > LUS::Internals::Install::_install_module at Wed Jul 3 09:56:09 2002 at /usr/ > lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/CPANPLUS/Internals/Install.pm line 105 I have no idea since I have not used CPANPLUS. First, I would check that MHonArc2.5.8.tar.gz is a valid tar.gz file when you download it. When I uploaded to CPAN, the md5 checksum looked correct. If it is, then it is in CPANPLUS domain and you should contact the maintainers of CPANPLUS. Note, you are using a non-stable release of Perl and a alpha module (CPANPLUS), so there may be some problems. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
