yesterday after uploading, I got a "failed" message from the CPAN indexer:

The following packages (grouped by status) have been found in the distro:

Status: Permission missing
==========================

     module: Apache2::Filter
    version: 0.01
    in file: ModPerl2-Tools-0.01/lib/ModPerl2/Tools.pm
     status: Not indexed because permission missing. Current registered
             primary maintainer is APML. Hint: you can always find the
             legitimate maintainer(s) on PAUSE under "View Permissions".

     module: Apache2::RequestRec
    version: 0.01
    in file: ModPerl2-Tools-0.01/lib/ModPerl2/Tools.pm
     status: Not indexed because permission missing. Current registered
             primary maintainer is APML. Hint: you can always find the
             legitimate maintainer(s) on PAUSE under "View Permissions".

I know what I am doing. How can I get rid of these errors? I seem to remember 
there was a trick to get around this by inserting a new line between "package" 
and "Apache2::Filter". Does this still work? Would it be better to do instead 
of:

{
  package Apache2::Filter;
  sub safe_die {}
}

this:

BEGIN {
  *Apache2::Filter::safe_die=sub {};
}

or this:

sub Apache2::Filter::safe_die {}

What is best to trick the indexer?
