Linda, If you're in contact with the maintainer, they can assign primary permissions to you. That is the fastest fix to the situation.
If you are not in contact, there is a procedure to demonstrate publicly that you've attempted contact and request to take over the namespace: http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about#takeover Show modules@perl.org that you've followed those steps and you'll get the namespace in a few weeks.
