Ah yes, now I understand what happened myself:

You see, I've removed the package names WWW::Curl::Easy and WWW::Curl::Share from indexing, because they are generated
dynamically at build time based on the constants that you have available (depending on libcurl version).

I guess I didn't factor in the possibility that CPAN would serve up the older versions of WWW::Curl that make those
packages available.

Hmpf. I think I'll have to add those packages back in some stub form in an upcoming release because I do see this
becoming confusing, I'd guess most people never declare "use WWW::Curl", but use WWW::Curl::Easy and so on.

WWW::Curl::Simple has the correct dependencies, so it explains how your packages got upgraded.

Installing WWW::Curl installs WWW::Curl::Easy, WWW::Curl::Share and WWW::Curl::Multi aswell.
