So if you previously uploaded "Foo-0.1.tar.gz", you can then upload "Foo-0.2.tar.gz" and it will get indexed. It's a good practice to keep your module and distribution version numbers the same. (c.f. http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/308/packages-modules-and-distributions/) It's up to you whether or not to remove the old distribution. Many people just leave old modules there in case someone wants to compare a new module to an old one. (E.g. search.cpan.org lets you see a diff between distribution releases) Other people remove their old distribution files periodically to keep CPAN "cleaner" (and smaller) c.f. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=204997 > The second thing is about my @cpan mail, I don't think its > working, I'm not receiving any forwarded mail. I'll send you a email off-list and see if it bounces or if you get it. If you don't get a separate email from me within a day, let me know and I'll follow up with the other admins who handle email. -- David
