It was making me jump through too many hoops, and it wasn't
really a bug anyway.
What were the difficulties in the bug submission process? Bugs should
not be difficult to submit, and if the submission form on savannah is
going to be a problem for users, I'd like to know.
CPANPLUS can't find dir name to untar MHonArc2.5.8 into.
I can install it by hand the usual way, no problem, but using
CPANPLUS, I get the following error report. perl is 5.008!

I have no idea since I have not used CPANPLUS. First, I would check
that MHonArc2.5.8.tar.gz is a valid tar.gz file when you download it.
When I uploaded to CPAN, the md5 checksum looked correct.
If it is, then it is in CPANPLUS domain and you should contact the
maintainers of CPANPLUS. Note, you are using a non-stable release
of Perl and a alpha module (CPANPLUS), so there may be some problems.
