Looks like you packed up your own tarball (or zipfile, really) because Net-IPFromZip-0.02.zip contains the folder "Net-IPFromZip" without the version number, which could be related to the permissions problem.
Try creating your tarball with the Makefile. Run "perl Makefile.PL" and then "make dist" and if that works, upload the result. Separately -- unrelated, but will cause problems for anyone who tries to install your module -- your test file has hard-coded paths to your own home directory. :-) Usually, people put test data into a "t/data" folder or a top level "corpus" folder and load it from there. And the "use lib" line isn't necessary if you're testing with "make test". The Makefile will set the library path for you when it runs. If you're testing with prove, you can get a similar effect with "prove -l t/Net-IPFromZip.t". Regards, David On Mon, Feb 2, 2015 at 11:05 PM, John Kennedy <johngkenne...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sure.
