                       cpan-upload 1.2

cpan-upload is a script which makes it easy for Perl authors to upload
files to CPAN using PAUSE. I just uploaded 1.2:

         file: $CPAN/authors/id/NEILB/cpan-upload-1.2.tar.gz
         size: 5181 bytes
          md5: 6829109bf9f341be8105f21f37fedcbe

The script was uploaded with the following command:

       % cpan-upload cpan-upload-1.2.tar.gz

which results in the script

   1.  ftp'ing the file to PAUSE
   2.  POST'ing to the PAUSE web server, to add the file as you

This version fixes a bug in the way the script uses App::Config,
which was causing problems if you had a password which included
something looking like a perl variable.
