This software is not being sold or anything like that. It's completely free. The name change to PersistentPerl is an attempt to reduce the amount of confusion over this software, not increase it. So, please consider the dual package idea for the following reasons: - If the package is immediately renamed now, then people who only know of this software under the name SpeedyCGI will no longer be able to find it on CPAN. - The two packages use completely different names for packages and binaries. If the switch is made immediately to PersistentPerl and SpeedyCGI dropped, then all existing scripts that use SpeedyCGI will have to be converted to the new names in order to get future updates. By having two packages, users can install the new one (there are no conflicts between the two) and migrate scripts whenever they want to. Sam
