perlx-quoteoperator-url's Issues

Typo in prerequisite specification (URI::File instead URI::file)

build_requires specifies URI::File, but probably you meant URI::file. CPAN.pm shows this message while trying to install the module:

---- DRAEGTUN/PerlX-QuoteOperator-URL-1.01.tar.gz ----
    URI::File [build_requires]
    PerlX::QuoteOperator [requires]
Running install for module 'URI::File'

  The module URI::File isn't available on CPAN.

  Either the module has not yet been uploaded to CPAN, or it is
  temporary unavailable. Please contact the author to find out
  more about the status. Try 'i URI::File'.
