Hi Peter & Kenneth,
I’m one of the PAUSE admins.
You two both have pod-to-RTF modules on CPAN with names that match
/^pod::rtf$/i —
KJALB has Pod::RTF in the PodSimplify distribution
PVHP has Pod::Rtf in the Pod2WinHlp distribution
Until recently PAUSE treated this as separate modules, but that caused problems
on case-insensitive filesystems: you can’t have both of your modules installed
on MacOS X, for example.
Normally I would suggest that one of you renames the offending module, but
there may be an easier solution. Looking at the CPAN Testers status for
Pod2WinHlp, I notice that it hasn’t worked with any version of Perl for the
last 13 years:
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Pod2WinHlp
<http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Pod2WinHlp>
There is one “spurious pass”, but basically it fails on all perls on all
operating systems.
Peter, would you be open to just deleting this from CPAN? If so, I’m happy to
delete the files and drop your permissions for you. If you want to keep it on
CPAN that’s fine, but would you mind renaming Pod::Rtf, or giving me permission
to?
Cheers,
Neil
