Time to change the mirror :) http://cpan.valueclick.com/authors/id/DOUGM/ mod_perl-1.24_01.tar.gz obtained thru http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=mod_perl Note, that CPAN.pm shell won't see it, since it skips files with '_' in the version number. So according to it, it's still 1.24 that's the latest. === To: mod_perl list <modperl@apache.org> From: Leon Brocard <acme@astray.com> Subject: Re: perl Makefile.PL blows up with Apache 1.3.14 Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2000 15:47:51 +0000 Stas Bekman sent the following bits through the ether: > It is on CPAN, your mirror is terribly outdated.

So according to it, it's still 1.24 that's the latest. So CPAN.pm can't find it and it's not in the modules/by-module/Apache directory. It's a wonder anyone finds it at all! (apart from cpan.org or perl.apache.org ;-) May I suggest another version number is chosen which allows better distribution?... === To: Leon Brocard <acme@astray.com> From: Stas Bekman <stas@stason.org> Subject: Re: perl Makefile.PL blows up with Apache 1.3.14 Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2000 16:57:23 +0100 (CET) On Sun, 17 Dec 2000, Leon Brocard wrote: > Stas Bekman sent the following bits through the ether: > > It is on CPAN, your mirror is terribly outdated.

As mentioned in my previous email the '_' char in the version number makes the release special and sort of hidden. (that's why it's not in modules/by-module/Apache as well). You can still find the module thru search.cpan.org and in the author's directory. (and on perl.apache.org) Now why it was called is way, I don't know. Here is an original announcement: http://forum.swarthmore.edu/epigone/modperl/prorclaxlou/Pine.LNX.4.10.10010100946310.314-100000@mojo.covalent.net ... support version parsing of 1.3.13-dev's httpd.h ... ===
