[I sent this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] first but that seems to have become less of a discussion list and more of an automated-customer-service-center type of operation, so I'm sending it here in hopes of reaching a human with experience on CPAN bundles]
I maintain a suite of ClearCase-related modules located (naturally) in the ClearCase::* namespace. There are now 5 or 6 of these so I decided recently that a bundle might be convenient. I followed exactly the instructions at http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_make_bundle to create Bundle::ClearCase and uploaded it but still, weeks later, it doesn't work. For instance: % perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::ClearCase" results in Warning: Cannot install Bundle::ClearCase, don't know what it is. My best guess is that bundles must be registered via [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be useable. Is that the case? Does anyone know another reason it should fail to work? The bundle is definitely present on CPAN, just not useable qua bundle. A little more background: while I've gone through official namespace-negotiation procedures for my general-purpose modules, I've not bothered to do so with the ClearCase ones. Since ClearCase::* already exists and is the obvious parent namespace, and since most people reading [EMAIL PROTECTED] aren't likely to either know or care enough about ClearCase minutiae to be involved in choosing the lower-level name, I've skipped that step though in some cases I've debated the name within the ClearCase community. Anyway, is it possible that a bundle doesn't work unless all its _members_ are officially registered? Seems unlikely. Thanks, David Boyce
