Hi Brian, I’m one of the PAUSE admins: I’m working on resolving conflicts caused by PAUSE now considering package names case insensitively. This has left us with some situations where two or more people are owners of namespaces previously considered distinct, and now considered the same.
Your release iodbc-wwwtools-0.20b.zip isn’t indexed on CPAN, but contains an HTML modules, which conflicts with the “Html” namespace, owned by someone else. Given that the module hasn’t been indexed for years (and so isn’t discoverable by Perl developers), and hasn’t been updated for 21 years or so, I propose deleting the file from your CPAN author directory and dropping your permissions on the HTML namespace. Are you ok for me to do this on your behalf? PAUSE doesn’t let this sort of situation arise now, so I’m cleaning up the historical cases. Cheers, Neil
