[Bioperl-l] [bioperl-network] Not indexed by CPAN (#1)

[Fields, Christopher J]

This appears to be due to a bug in a few places, primarily Module::Build and the CPAN indexer (the former is assigning a default version of '0' to modules, which is breaking the CPAN indexer).  We should be assigning the default version to the modules, though; this can be fixed a bit more easily if we migrate over to Dist::Zilla for releases, something that Rob Buels implemented in a branch of the github repo.  

Anyway, for immediate concern Andreas fixed the indexer and reindexed BioPerl-Network (now at v. 1.6.901), can you retry an installation after updating your local index?

We're working on a fix though, might be up in a couple of days (uses Dist::Zilla for releases, which I know works).

It seems that the bioperl-network modules are not indexed by CPAN at the moment. You should see the problem if you try to "install Bio::Network::ProteinNet" from the CPAN shell. My workaround is currently to "install CJFIELDS/BioPerl-Network-1.006900.tar.gz" from the CPAN shell. That works, but I cannot give a name like that to Module::Install in my Makefile.PL. Users of my code have to install bioperl-network as an additional step.
