PPM"s weird list

Hello,

I just did a fresh install of 5.10, and am now installing modules
via PPM. Why is it that I often see module variants but not the main
root module?

For example, with "All Modules" selected, PPM lists:
CGI-Session-BitBucket
CGI-Session-FlexMySql
CGI-Session-ID-UUID
CGI-Session-ID-uuid
CGI-Session-Remote
CGI-Session-Serialize-DataDumper
CGI-SessionM
but not:
CGI-Session

Why is this?

Eric

If you check the build status of those modules
(http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.10-C.html) you will see that
CGI::Session failed some tests, which is why it is not in the archive.
You will also see that some of the modules that depend on it failed to
build or test because CGI::Session was not present. The modules that
depend on CGI::Session that passed, and therefore made it into the
archive, did so because they didn't explicitly identify their
dependency, and had no tests. I would be reluctant to recommend such
modules.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, Brian.
