Bug 219768 – g-cpan don't recognize some modules as valid modules names

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Oleg Kostyuk 2008-04-29 20:54:29 UTC]

Bug founded after trying to get this working:
  tux ~ # g-cpan -g Devel::REPL

which also leads to logical errors (for ex, no ebuilds generated for some modules at all - MooseX::Getopt, MooseX::Object::Pluggable, namespace::clean, Task::Weaken, PPI)

tux ~ # g-cpan -g namespace::clean
-CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /var/tmp/g-cpan/.cpan/Metadata

Strange distribution name [namespace::clean]
 * namespace::clean is not a CPAN module!
tux ~ #


Reproducible: Always

Works as expected here; what version of g-cpan are you using?

I'm not using Gentoo anymore, so I can't check is this bug is still actual for me.
