I reply to the subject report, which I attach to this email.
Nearly all modules of my distro SudokuTrainer are specific to the distro
and hence of no use for other CPAN authors. So I wanted to avoid getting
them indexed, for the sole purpose of not further flood CPAN with
useless modules. On the module-authors maillist I was first advised to
do so by splitting the package directives to 2 lines. I thought this as
a hack, but it worked fine.
Later I got attentive to the meta_merge section of CPAN::Meta::Spec. So
I changed several package directives back to single line form, and added
a parameter "meta_merge => { no_index => { file => [
'Games/Sudoku/Trainer/Check_pause.pm', ... ],},}," to my Build.PL. The
result was that only those modules who's package directive was still
split on 2 lines were not indexed. In other words, the no_index had no
effect.
For my latest upload (version 0.01.4) I changed the meta_merge parameter to
> meta_merge => {
> no_index => {
> file => [
> 'Games/Sudoku/Trainer/Cell.pm',
> # 'Games/Sudoku/Trainer/Check_pause.pm',
> # 'Games/Sudoku/Trainer/Const_structs.pm',
> # 'Games/Sudoku/Trainer/Found_info.pm',
> # 'Games/Sudoku/Trainer/GUI.pm',
> # 'Games/Sudoku/Trainer/GUIdetails.pm',
> 'Games/Sudoku/Trainer/Priorities.pm',
> # 'Games/Sudoku/Trainer/Strategies.pm',
> ],
> package => [
> 'Games::Sudoku::Trainer::Check_pause',
> 'Games::Sudoku::Trainer::Const_structs',
> 'Games::Sudoku::Trainer::Found_info',
> 'Games::Sudoku::Trainer::GUI',
> 'Games::Sudoku::Trainer::GUIdetails',
> 'Games::Sudoku::Trainer::Strategies',
>],
> },
> },
As your indexer report shows, the no_index again had no effect.
Apparently I do something wrong with the use of the meta_merge
parameter. I really hope that you may help me to correct my mistake.
Thank you very much for your patience.
