Your link is to search.cpan.org, a closed source application which is no more official than metacpan is. Please don't refer to that as CPAN; it isn't. I'm suspecting that metacpan fails because you put the TRIAL after a . rather than the Module-Name-1.234-TRIAL format that every other trial dist I've seen uses, but I don't think that's your fault. Assuming your distribution hasn't been indexed by PAUSE itself, then "CPAN" so far as it exists is fine, and you just need to file a bug against metacpan to get it to keep track as well. -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our Catalyst commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team.
