Given (a) the other module is being maintained, and has other modules dependent on it, and (b) yours hasn’t been released since the first release in 2000, and doesn’t have any downstream dependents on CPAN, I propose to drop your permissions on the namespace, to resolve the conflict. I will do this early next week. Please shout if you’re not happy with this course of action, and we can try and work out a different solution. Or shout if you’re happy, and I’ll do it right off. Also, please let me know if you’re happy for me to schedule the removal of your old release as well, just to tidy things up. Cheers, Neil
