Re: Permissions for perl module Efl

PAUSE treats indexing permissions case-insensitively, so EFL and Efl are the same package name, as far as PAUSE is concerned.
It does this because some operating systems (e.g. Windows and MacOS) are case-insensitive, so efl.pm and EFL.pm are the same file.

I suggest you rename your distribution – it is strongly recommended that you don’t repurpose a package name, once it’s been used on CPAN, as you’ve no way of knowing who might be using it (even though you said it can’t be compiled any more).

Cheers,
Neil
