Webmaster Forum / Perl / Modules / February 2010

Two questions related to the directory structure of a distribution
intended for CPAN:
1.  What is the current best practice for including sample Perl 5
programs intended to illustrate usage of the module?  What directory

I am creating my first module:
http://github.com/Skriptke/nes
I get this error with files containing spaces in the name:
perl Makefile.PL

Hi module-authors,
Is there a way to exclude files from the 'diff' tool on one's  
module's CPAN page?
I like to use this tool to confirm what I've changed from one  

Does any one know what the following error from the CPANTS
Kwalitee<http://cpants.perl.org/dist/kwalitee/VCS-Which>page mean?
1.4, 'git@github.com:EvanCarroll/datetimex-format.git' for 'repository' is
not a valid URL. (resources -> repository) [Validation: 1.4]

Recently I submitted IP::World, my first module using M::B.
I think that the standard install process does not syntax check
Perl scripts in a scripts folder.  Is that right?
So I would like to add some tests to one of my test files,

I am creating a module that requires the installation of some files in www/cgi-bin
Can be viewed at:

Directories /obj and /plugin

  I've searched the mailing list archives and could not find an answer
-- perhaps it can't be done?
  I just uploaded to PAUSE -- this is the first time I've done so --
and I gave it the path to my author directory, not realizing that it

Has anyone else got a message like this to their CPAN Developer e-mail
address? I'm curious if this is the beginning of a really bad trend
toward CPAN author spamming :/

I'm working on my first CPAN module that uses Module::Build.
It has an XS component.  I can't find an exact correspondent
to the OPTIMIZE parameter with ExtUtils::MakeMaker.   I can
add the optimization I want to the extra_compiler_flags parameter,

I have developed a module that computes the best rotation that maps
a set of vectors onto another set of vectors. "Best rotation" means
here that it minimizes the sum of the squared distances between each
two corresponding vectors.

I already submitted a request to register the namespace VMware::LM for
a new module I am writing. This module is an interface to the VMware
Lab Manager SOAP API -
