Yes, it appears that with DMUEY's release of version 0.41 of=20
File::Copy::Recursive, the crisis has passed.

To give you a feel for the scope of the (now averted) crisis, I'm=20
attaching a plain-text file which is an excerpt from the 'cpan'=20
reports-sent.db for the run this morning where I requested that 'cpan'=20
install File::Copy::Recursive, Test::File::ShareDir, Data::MessagePack,=20
Inline::C, DateTime and Dist::Zilla.  None of these were automatically=20
installable on FreeBSD before 0.41.  This opens up 6000+ distros to=20
installation via 'cpan', 'cpanm' and to BBC investigation.

A couple of CPAN distros switched to using=20
File::Copy::Recursive::Reduced.  I'll continue to support it but now=20
consider it feature-complete.

Thank you very much.
