Hi Bill, There's no tradition or history within CPAN or PAUSE of ever requiring a PAUSE ID to not clash with a module. Quite to the contrary .. please see below.
PAUSE ID MODULE ------------ ----------- URI URI ** PAUSE ID isn't author of this module RAM DBD::RAM ** PAUSE ID isn't author of this module RAM AnyData::Storage::RAM ** PAUSE ID isn't author of this module RDF RDF::Notation3 ** PAUSE ID isn't author of this module RDF RDF::Service ** PAUSE ID isn't author of this module PING Net::Ping ** PAUSE ID isn't author of this module NI-S NIS::DBM ** PAUSE ID isn't author of this module ...... I'm stopping after a casual perusal of the authors tree from Z to N.

It is too likely to be confused with DBI.pm. The user ID > "DATABUILT" would be better, IMHO. > > --Bill.
