Subject: FindBin::libs isn't indexed, Test-BDD-Cucumber needs it to test
To: cpan-testers-disc...@perl.org


If this is the wrong mailing list to whine about this, feel free to
flame me, just redirect me to the right location.

While installing Test-BDD-Cucumber, the tests fail because
FindBin::libs can't be found.   This test dependency is missing from
the Test-BDD-Cucumber META.json file, but that's a separate issue.

I tried to install FindBin::libs, but while you can "see" it on CPAN
(i.e. browse via search.cpan.org), it's not listed in
02packages.details.txt.    I just updated my minicpan mirror, and
checked the file.  These are the only FindBin modules listed there:

FindBin                            1.51  R/RJ/RJBS/perl-5.20.0.tar.gz
FindBin::Real                      1.05  S/ST/STRO/FindBin-Real-1.05.tar.gz
FindBinNew                         1.51  J/JW/JWB/Bio-Grid-Run-SGE-0.0386.tar.gz

The latest version published by the author is
FindBin-libs-1.11.tar.gz, but this is NOT visible in my mirror (I'm
mirroring from http://www.cpan.org, FWIW).  That was released 2 days
ago, but FindBin::libs has been around for a lot longer than that, so
it should have already been indexed.

Does this possibly indicate a problem with the code that creates the
02packages.details.txt file?
