Hi all: I just uploaded a new version (4.13) of PDL::NetCDF with changes suggested by Sisyphus, Robert Ginko and kmx. None of these seem to have helped with the cpan shell. It still shows: ------------------------------------------------------------ cpan[2]> get PDL::NetCDF Running get for module 'PDL::NetCDF' The module PDL::NetCDF isn't available on CPAN. ------------------------------------------------------------ In addition, I'm no longer getting the email from PAUSE telling of successful indexing. I think this is because I got rid of the METAMERGE line in Makefile.PL which adds info the META.yml. I think I'll put back the META.yml file, but I'm not sure where to go from there. --Doug > > On Thu, 5 May 2011, Sisyphus wrote: > >> >> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Hunt" >> >> < Yet under the CPAN shell on >>> my linux box, I get this: >>> >>> >>> >>> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> cpan[2]> get PDL::NetCDF >>> Running get for module 'PDL::NetCDF' >>> >>> The module PDL::NetCDF isn't available on CPAN. >>> >>> Either the module has not yet been uploaded to CPAN, or it is >>> temporary unavailable.
