The case of a distribution name: CGI-Simple or Cgi-Simple ?

[szabgab]

There is a distribution which is AFAIK called CGI-Simple.
https://metacpan.org/release/CGI-Simple works

But when I try to fetch the bug count http://api.metacpan.org/v0/distribution/CGI-Simple only returns the name of the distribution.
If I fetch http://api.metacpan.org/v0/distribution/Cgi-Simple (lower case gi) then I get the number.

OTOH https://metacpan.org/release/Cgi-Simple is "Not Found".

Why is the difference? How can I know which case to use where?

I think this is because the file we get from RT spells is "Cgi-Simple":

Which is because it was Cgi-Simple at one point and RT's queues are case-insensitive. If you file a ticket with rt-cpan-admin@bestpractical.com you can get the case changed.

@tsibley thanks, I followed your suggestion and https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=CGI-Simple is now CGI in upper case.

How long till MetaCPAN will fetch the bug count?

@szabgab https://github.com/CPAN-API/metacpan-puppet/tree/master/hieradata has all our configuration...

https://github.com/CPAN-API/metacpan-puppet/blob/master/hieradata/nodes/bm-mc-02.yaml#L17 being the bit I think you are looking for

Then I don't understand why is it still the old data. I think the Cgi => CGI change on RT was made 3 days ago.

I think this will clear up once #354 has been fixed and deployed.
