Hi Dan, I’m one of the PAUSE admins. I’m working through tidying up permissions conflicts that have been caused by the fact that PAUSE now consider package names case insensitively (due to case-insensitive filesystems, as on Windows and MacOS X). PAUSE doesn’t let these situations occur now, but we have some historical cases. I’m sorting these out so that we don’t need code in the toolchain for dealing with permissions conflicts.
You have first-come permissions on Match::Smart, which you released to CPAN in Feb 2004, but subsequently removed from CPAN. This now clashes with match::smart, which TOBYINK has first-come on. He has this on CPAN in T/TO/TOBYINK/match-simple-0.010.tar.gz To resolve this clash I think we can safely drop your permissions on Match::Smart, since it’s no longer on CPAN. Are you happy for me to do this on your behalf? Cheers, Neil
