Many online services that are centered around CPAN attempt to
|
||
|
|
associate multiple uploads by extracting a distribution name from
|
||
|
|
the filename of the upload. For most distributions this is easy as
|
||
|
|
they have used ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Module::Build to create the
|
||
|
|
distribution, which results in a uniform name. But sadly not all
|
||
|
|
uploads are created in this way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CPAN::DistnameInfo uses heuristics that have been learnt by
|
||
|
|
http://search.cpan.org/ to extract the distribution name and version
|
||
|
|
from filenames and also report if the version is to be treated as
|
||
|
|
a developer release
