when i go to http://search.cpan.org/ and search for module "x500", i find my modules only--strange. maybe this has to do with the interesting fact that when one goes to your CPAN page, http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=author&query=savage, where your X500-DN is listed, and clicks on it, http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=X500-DN, one gets to my module! this happened as soon as my module got onto CPAN. > Having seen the advent of Robert's module, I think the best course > would be for me to either: > 1) Delete my module permanently, or > 2) Delete it under the name X500-DN... and re-enter it under the name > X500-DN-Parser... > > I'm tending towards (1) myself. a reason for (2) could be that your module has an interface that mine doesn't have and some people may have a need for it? on my CPAN home page, http://www.timesink.de/perl/, people find a terse comparison of our modules. rj
