MetaCPAN

MetaCPAN was upgraded from Elasticsearch version 2 to version 8 this past Monday. As you can imagine, that's quite a jump. Many thanks to @haarg for sorting out most of the compatibility issues on our API side.

If any of your queries have broken, please open an issue at https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-api/issues or ask in #metacpan on irc.perl.org

Many thanks to Philipp Krenn and Shay Banon of Elastic for their continued support. 🙏

Is anyone else seeing failed MetaCPAN lookups via MetaCPAN::Client with a 'Payment Required' message?

I've been using this script for months to check for project updates, as recently as a day a ago: today every lookup fails with a payment required error message. Yet I see nothing about paying for access on MetaCPAN...

Recently worked a bit with Getopt:: Long. Quite cool that it is possible to pass a subroutine for a command line argument and thus perform sanity checks right away 😊

@KO6YQ #Perl version “5.38.1a” appears to have been a botched test release that escaped to #CPAN per this post from @leonerd: https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2023/11/msg267357.html

Please stand by for the correct version 5.38.x release.

Note that “perl-5.38.1a” on that #MetaCPAN page is grayed out, which indicates it is not actually the latest release.

@ChristosArgyrop @Perl I don’t think it searched #CPAN or #MetaCPAN, because “BinaryTree” doesn’t exist there. It’s merely suggesting a package name.

If it actually searched CPAN it would tell you about something like https://metacpan.org/pod/Tree::Binary

And if it were truly CPAN-aware it would tell you to name your package Local::BinaryTree so you don’t get surprised later when another #Perl package from outside preempts your name: https://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_namingmodules#Local
