Does uploading on the following file Games-JackThief-*0.02*.tar.gz will update the package on server automatically ? Yes, it will make it be indexed instead of the previous version, as it is a newer version. To be on the safe side, you may wish to eventually delete the previous and old versions from PAUSE using the authors menu. Note that some tools such as https://metacpan.org/release/CPAN-Uploader and especially https://metacpan.org/release/Dist-Zilla can automate uploading tarballs of releases for you. Furthermore, please consider using Dist-Zilla because it automates and/or facilitates a lot of other tasks that one encounters when managing a CPAN distribution. And i found that the description about the functions are not good on cpan search, please let me know how can i update the documentation there ? For the documentation look into Pod-Coverage and perlpod: * https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::Pod::Coverage * https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PodCoverageTests * http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html * http://perl-begin.org/tutorials/perl-for-newbies/part5/#page--pod-documentation--DIR Regards, Shlomi Fish -- - Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ NSA Factoids - http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/bits/facts/NSA/ It always works at the end.

Re: Need information about updating the modules on PAUSE and editing the information on CPAN Search.
Looking in your Makefile.PL (which you should also do, as it it a fruitful area of study), you can see the line VERSION_FROM = 'lib/Games/JackThief.pm', This tells you where the version information is coming from (other options are also possible). Go into your module JackThief.pm, and increase the version number. You'll find VERSION also referenced in your documentation, which you'll need to fix. While you are at it, you may want to increase the perl version number too. Version 5.6 has not been supported for a very long time, and is not supported by the build/make tools either. Others may disagree, but I've lately increased the MIN_PERL_VERSION line in Makefile.PL to 5.010001 (that is, version 5.10.1) in my own modules (although one of them will be staying at 5.008003 for a while due to a single machine out there that I need to keep happy). You will also find a use 5.006; line in your code; you should change that too to either 5.8.3 or 5.10.1. Good luck, -john On 6/28/2015 4:40 AM, KAPIL RATHORE wrote: Hello Authors,.
