Hi Tim and Andreas,

What should I do to get my module InfoSys::FreeDB in the module list?
Some people have a hard time finding it.

I also have a couple of other modules which also do not show up in
the list. I guess I must be structurally forgetting/omitting
something vital.

Ciao,
Vincenzo Zocca

Is there any reason why this isn't in the Net:: namespace? It's hard
to
find these modules, since what one is really looking for is "CDDB". I
found FreeDB by accident looking through 'Net', but it's really hard
to
follow "guessable" signposts to find this module. One option might be
to
upload a new version of Net::FreeDB which has a prereq of
InfoSys::FreeDB;
this was suggested to me by several Perl people recently (I also have
to
rename some of my own modules).

I'll take a look and have a hack later.

Thank you for the (prompt!) response.

S.
