This distribution name can only be used by users with permission for the
package Apache::Session::Browseable, which you do not have. No modules
will be indexed.
In fact, the user does have permission for Apache::Session::Browseable. The actual problem was that there was no lib/Apache/Session/Browseable.pm (with appropriate package statement) inside the distribution, so the error message was highly confusing to the author.
PR attached.
Strangely enough though, I don't believe the user should have gotten an error at all when uploading.
You don't need a package called "distname".pm if you already have permissions in 06perms.txt to a module called "distname". When this new restriction was put in place, 06perms.txt was backfilled to be correct for modules like this one, so there shouldn't have been a problem.
I'm not entirely sure what happened here.
