I apologize for the somewhat OT posting, but I need some help. I
uploaded a new version of a module (Tk-DiffText version 0.18) to CPAN
and have been getting failure reports from CPAN-Testers ever since. The
common theme is this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Output from '/usr/bin/make':
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ERROR: Cannot copy 'Tk-DiffText-0.18libTkDiffText.pm' to
'blib/lib/Tk-DiffText-0.18libTkDiffText.pm': No such file or directory
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at -e line 1
*** Error code 255
Stop in /usr/local/src/CPAN/build/MJCARMAN-xVUXJa.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note the lack of path separators. I received an email from one user who
including a directory listing. It appeared that the directory structure
was flattened. e.g. There was a file named
"Tk-DiffText-0.18\lib\Tk\DiffText.pm" instead of DiffText.pm in the
folder Tk-DiffText-0.18/lib/Tk.
It appears that there's something wrong (or at least non-standard) with
the archive (it's a zip file) but I can't figure out what.
Has anyone seen something like this before? I'd appreciate any insight.
The zip file was created by IZArc 3.81 on Windows XP SP2.
