Gah, that's my mistake. I was positive it was under the XML namespace due to the nature of that module. > I'm happy to give up that namespace, FWIW.

Sounds good, thank you. I am in the process of implementing their web service API, so WebService::Fitbit (or FitBit, if that's easier for CPAN to handle) would be the natural name. > If there's any other action I need to take here, please let me know. I don't know how to continue from here. I take it that already released modules (such as WebService::FitBit) can not just be deleted from CPAN? Perhaps it would be easier if I just took over the existing WebService::FitBit namespace and bumped the version of my first release to indicate the API change? Anybody know how to handle the "duplicate" namespace reservations? WebService::FitBit vs. WebService::Fitbit? Best regards, Brix -- Henrik Brix Andersen
