Hi Flávio, I’m again emailing you wearing my PAUSE admin hat: 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.
You have ownership of the “If”, “For”, and “Use" packages. These are used in your v6 distribution, but “If” now clashes with the core “if” module (which is shipped with Perl itself), “Use” clashes with AUDREYT’s “use” module, and “For” clashes with the “for” pragma which looks like it was included with some old versions of Perl. I previously emailed you about “v6”, which uses a lot of toplevel namespaces, rather than nested namespaces. To resolve this clash I’d like to drop your PAUSE permissions on these namespaces — do you think you might be able to do a new release of v6 which doesn’t use all the toplevel namespaces? For example, right now installing your v6 distribution on Windows or Mac OS X would probably mean you can’t use the core “if” module. Cheers, Neil
