Please be precise with the terminology. Do not use the package separator when you mean the filesystem path separator. This is not a 1:1 mapping, so it matters.

It would show up as unauthorised release because you do not have the permissions on that namespace. Indexes list those releases separately (and in scary big red letters!). This means a user will not be able to install your `Math::Simple` module by the module name alone (because this would resolve to the `Inline` distribution), but needs a qualified name such as `LAWALSH/Math-Simple-2.000.tar.gz` or a URL. Naturally, your version must be greater than the existing 1.23. Read <http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about> for further details. > Should it even be listed as a module? No, example packages should not be indexed. File a bug with `Inline`, state your intentions of taking over the namespace for a different/greater purpose, ask for PAUSE permissions on the namespace, tell how to prevent that further releases of Inline show up indexed with `Math::Simple` (either <http://p3rl.org/CPAN::Meta::Spec#no_index> or the hack where the `package` keyword and the namespace literal are declared across two lines, I forgot where this is documented), optionally provide a Makefile.PL patch/distribution meta file that achieves this.
