I've been getting a 404 for PPIx::Regexp, it exists on other mirrors
(e.g. cpan.hexten.net) and is in the PAUSE index, any idea who I should
kick?"

I find this file just fine on www.cpan.org. Can you fetch it by hand
without CPAN.pm or LWP?

I was able to download the right file with LWP. I checked inside the
package to ensure it was the right version:

use LWP::Simple;
use v5.10;

my $code = getstore(
    'http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/W/WY/WYANT/PPIx-Regexp-0.030.tar.gz',
    '/Users/brian/Desktop/PPIx-Regexp-0.030.tar.gz'
    );
say "code is $code";



Fetching with LWP:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/W/WY/WYANT/PPIx-Regexp-0.030.tar.gz
LWP failed with code[404] message[Not Found]

This worked for me. I don't think this is a PAUSE or CPAN issue, but
there might be a problem with your CPAN.pm. If you still have problems,
you might want to report it to CPAN.pm.


Hi brian

I hope the following helps,

I don't want to install from another mirror, nor will an average user.

I was testing Perl 5.17.8
I can't install Padre as one of it's dependency modules requires PPIx::Regexp 

hence there is an issue,

see also RT - https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=82953
I hope this helps, the error is not client side it's server side, hence PAUSE, I think. 

regards
kevin
