Is 02packages.details.txt.gz outdated? Yes, by hours. 3.65 which was uploaded today, and the server to which you are connecting simply hasn't mirrored that addition yet. Switch mirror or wait (at most) a day!	[reply]

3.65 which was uploaded today, a Today is the 5th, it was uploaded yesterday and the server to which you are connecting simply hasn't mirrored that addition yet. Switch mirror or wait (at most) a day! Isn't funet the MASTER ?	[reply]

Isn't funet the MASTER ? http://mirrors.cpan.org/ indeed seems to imply that. Dist-Zilla-Plugin-MakeMaker-Awesome-0.04, uploaded on the 3rd, is the newest my mirror (uwaterloo) and funet see. Something does seem wrong.	[reply]

It seems to have come back to life. My CPAN::Mini is updating now and ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/MIRRORING.FROM says: `# Last update (TZ = UTC): Tue Apr 6 10:23:10 UTC 2010 # UNIX epoch seconds = 1270549391` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Don't forget to run `reload index` and then `reload cpan` from the cpan shell; however, the last time I mounted something on CPAN, it took a week before cpan could find it. In the meantime, try it the long way from the shell like: `cpan> install G/GA/GAAS/HTML-Parser-3.65.tar.gz` [download] It won't find it at first so just let it run. It will find and install 3.65 for you.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It's not a question of the local index being out of date. The module is simply not present on any mirror.	[reply]

It's available at backpan. Funny ... backpan was also the first place that made perl-5.12.0-RC3.tar.gz available to me the other day when it was first released. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
