Hello, I've recently become the maintainer of two very similar CPAN modules with the intention of merging them into a single module. The modules are Config::YAML and YAML::AppConfig. Both can be used to manage application configuration files in YAML, and both provide convenient "get_*" methods to access settings. I want to merge them into the Config::YAML namespace because after looking at other Config::* modules, I think that's the better of the two choices.
The only other posting I can find on this subject is here, from 2001, and I'm not sure my question is answered by it: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.modules/2001/09/msg7523.html The question is, how do I go about "retiring" one module on CPAN once the merge is complete? I suppose the safest route might be to add a big comment at the top of the retired module's Pod to indicate that it is no longer maintained and users should start using the other module. Thanks, m.
