`cpan install Verilog-Perl` seems to be broken #1667

Closed kevbroch closed 3 years ago

kevbroch commented 4 years ago

I've done this many time in the past without issue but today it seems to be failing. (I tried this on several systems and different versions of perl 5.30.0, perl 5.26.3. All with same result). I also tried variations of invoking cpan or cpanm like perl -MCPAN -e 'install Verilog-Perl;'

$ sudo cpan install Verilog-Perl
Loading internal logger. Log::Log4perl recommended for better logging

>(info): I can suggest names if you install one of Text::Levenshtein::XS, Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::XS, Text::Levenshtein, and Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::PP
>(info): and you provide the -x option on invocation.
>(error): Skipping Verilog-Perl because I couldn't find a matching namespace.

My workaround with cpanm:

$ sudo cpanm https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/W/WS/WSNYDER/Verilog-Perl-3.470.tar.gz

Anyone else see a problem?

I see the same issue.

CPAN doesn't seem to any longer understand the difference between the distro name and package name. As a workaround use "cpan install Verilog::Language" instead.
