Today I had occasion to go into my 'minicpan' repository and look at modules/02packages.details.txt.gz. The file begins: ##### File: 02packages.details.txt URL: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt Description: Package names found in directory $CPAN/authors/id/ Columns: package name, version, path Intended-For: Automated fetch routines, namespace documentation. Written-By: PAUSE version 1.005 Line-Count: 259003 Last-Updated: Sat, 08 Jan 2022 20:29:03 GMT ##### When I click on the link for the URL entry, I am redirected to: ##### https://www.cpan.org/modules/02packages.details.txt ##### Should the URL entry in '02packages.details.txt' be changed to that of the redirect? That might prevent breakage in the future if the directory structure at www.perl.com changes. If this should be changed, where should we file a ticket? Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
