CPAN widget not updating (list stale at MetaCPAN too)

The list of new CPAN modules looked stale to me so I checked on MetaCPAN and found that the last date with new modules is Sept. 30. This seems unlikely. Does our widget grab from MetaCPAN?


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    I noticed Recent was stuck on October the 2nd. I asked in #metacpan on irc.perl.org and got the following answer from ilmari:

    > there's an rsync issue between pause and metacpan, being investigated

    Update: See also the GitHub issue #3444.

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    Yes - we syndicate the CPAN RSS as published at https://metacpan.org/recent.rss. I'm not aware of anything newer, besides monitoring irc for fresh uploads.

    When I try to update my local minicpan through the usual

    minicpan -l c:/minicpan -r http://cpan.org

    invocation, it returns immediately without doing any downloading of new or updated modules.

      What if you tried https instead?

      map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
        The issue remains the same.

    This appears to have been resolved now. Both the recent list at MetaCPAN and the nodelet here are up to date once more.
