Well, sure enough: it does not go in the index. The search.cpan.org code doesn't show the "alpha version" bit though. Apparently kobesearch is a bit slow on the mirroring, so not sure what happens there yet. curl -s http://cpan.org/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz | \ gunzip -c | grep Date-Piece http://search.cpan.org/dist/Date-Piece/ --Eric -- Issues of control, repair, improvement, cost, or just plain understandability all come down strongly in favor of open source solutions to complex problems of any sort. --Robert G.
