perlquestion gideondsouza <p>So I made my first PAUSE upload yesterday. </p> <p>Unfortunately like an idiot I forgot the <i>make dist</i> and went and tar'd the thing myself :'( CPAN complained :<br/> <blockquote> <i>The distribution contains a blib/ directory and is therefore not being indexed. Hint: try 'make dist'.</i></blockquote></p> <p>Then to my dismay I learned CPAN will never take that same name again. So I made a <b>version 0.02</b> and released it (all properly with a make dist) and all went well.</p> <p>My module is here : <a href='https://metacpan.org/module/Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Github' >Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Github</a>. There is a <b>version 0.01</b>.</p> <p>On pause I have a <b>Delete files option</b>, should I delete these files: <ol> <li>Dancer-Plugin-Auth-Github-0.01.readme</li> <li> Dancer-Plugin-Auth-Github-0.01.tar.gz </li> </ol></p> <hr/> <h3>Update</h3> <p>For anyone else who finds this and is a newbie like me:</p> <p>You might usually do this to test whether your module <i>make's</i> ok. But then you have to do make dist in the end to build a tar that you can send to pause. Essentially do:<p> <code> perl Makefile.PL make make manifest make disttest make dist <<<<-Creates tarball </code>
