Hi Peter & Kenneth,

I’m one of the PAUSE admins.

You two both have pod-to-RTF modules on CPAN with names that match 
/^pod::rtf$/i —

        KJALB has Pod::RTF in the PodSimplify distribution
        PVHP has Pod::Rtf in the Pod2WinHlp distribution

Until recently PAUSE treated this as separate modules, but that caused problems 
on case-insensitive filesystems: you can’t have both of your modules installed 
on MacOS X, for example.

Normally I would suggest that one of you renames the offending module, but 
there may be an easier solution. Looking at the CPAN Testers status for 
Pod2WinHlp, I notice that it hasn’t worked with any version of Perl for the 
last 13 years:

        http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Pod2WinHlp 
<http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Pod2WinHlp>

There is one “spurious pass”, but basically it fails on all perls on all 
operating systems.

Peter, would you be open to just deleting this from CPAN? If so, I’m happy to 
delete the files and drop your permissions for you. If you want to keep it on 
CPAN that’s fine, but would you mind renaming Pod::Rtf, or giving me permission 
to?

Cheers,
Neil
