This may be present in 5.7.x as well...and I'm not entirely sure it's a bug so I've not put it through with perlbug but.... The way I understand the naming conventions for CPAN to work, the '_' in the name should indicate alpha/beta software and shouldn't be the first distribution CPAN.pm picks up on when you ask it to install a package. Hence, I figure that 'install CGI' shouldn't go for the '_alpha' without the user asking for it explicitly. So, unless I've misunderstood something, I consider this to be a bug. --- root@gargoyle /export/project/tmp> /usr/local/bin/perl -MCPAN -eshell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.59_54) ReadLine support enabled cpan> install CGI Going to read /.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok Going to read /.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Database was generated on Tue, 03 Jul 2001 15:59:07 GMT CPAN: HTTP::Date loaded ok Going to read /.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz Running install for module CGI Running make for L/LD/LDS/CGI.pm-3.02_alpha.tar.gz CPAN: MD5 loaded ok Checksum for /.cpan/sources/authors/id/L/LD/LDS/CGI.pm-3.02_alpha.tar.gz ok Scanning cache /.cpan/build for sizes Deleting from cache: /.cpan/build/Archive-Tar-0.22 (11.6>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /.cpan/build/JROGERS001 (11.5>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /.cpan/build/libnet-1.0703 (11.5>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /.cpan/build/TermReadKey-2.14 (10.9>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /.cpan/build/Term-ReadLine-Perl-0.9908 (10.7>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /.cpan/build/CPAN-WAIT-0.27 (10.4>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /.cpan/build/Digest-MD5-2.13 (10.3>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /.cpan/build/MD5-2.02 (10.1>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /.cpan/build/MIME-Base64-2.12 (10.1>10.0 MB) [...] ----Thread Next
