Where's Protocol-Modbus?

[nimectos]

On search.cpan.org I can find Protocol::Modbus and it looks like a typical
module. I can download it, it's passed tests (including my matching Perl
version and platform), etc. But using "cpan", it can't find it, unlike
many other modules I've retrieved via "cpan". I looked in the CPAN FAQ
but it didn't mention this situation. What's up?

What happens when you enter this?

perldoc -l Protocol::Modbus

The file COSIMO/Protocol-Modbus-0.05.tar.gz contains world writeable
files and directories. PAUSE (the Perl Authors Upload Server) refuses to
index such files because they pose a security hazard on the end user.
The usual procedure for pause is to provide a replacement file without
world writables that then can be indexed. Such a file did not exist when
I looked, so maybe something went wrong when pause tried it the first
time. I just scheduled such an indexing job and in a few hours you
should be able to access Protocol::Modbus via one of the CPAN shells as
you would expect.

@cosimo: it would be nice if you could upload a replacement that has no
world writeable files.
