A CHECKSUMS file is in each CPAN author directory; for
example, see
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GR/GRANTM/.
They are generated automatically, and from some
random browsing of recent arrivals, appear to be
updated about 3 hours or so after the
latest release in a particular directory.
So in principle there may be a time delay present
between a distribution and it's appearance in the
CHECKSUMS file. However, XML-Simple was
last updated on 29-Jan-2005, and the CHECKSUMS
file at
www.cpan.org is dated 11-Nov-2005, so there
shouldn't be a problem in this respect. This probably
means you're either using an out-of-synch mirror or
there was a problem in the network transfer.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
