Okay, good tip.  Thanks for redirecting this to the appropriate place.

You know, I was aware of that, but I thought it was a separate issue. 
And the reason I thought that was because the permissions error 
specifically mentioned the module name:

>>> This distribution name can only be used by users with permission for the
>>> package Date::Easy, which you do not have. No modules will be indexed.

So I was thinking, why would it complain about a non-existent 
permissions error if it had no idea what the module name was supposed to 
be in the first place?  So I wanted to go ahead and raise this issue 
while I simultaneously corrected the other one.

But perhaps it's all connected, as you surmise, so let me try to fix 
that part before I whinge further. :-)

Yes, I agree a different error message would be more helpful.
