How would you like to resolve this conflict? As I said above, it looks to me as it SOAP-ActiveWorks was superseded by SOAP-Lite-ActiveWorks, so the former distribution could be deleted from CPAN, and the permissions on that dropped. I can do those steps on your behalf, with your permission. Or do you want to keep both dists on CPAN? If the latter, then one of the modules should be resolved, as at the moment people on case-insensitive filesystems can’t have both distributions installed at the same time, as one of SOAP::Transport::ACTIVEWORKS::Client and SOAP::Transport::ActiveWorks::Client will over-write the other. Cheers, Neil
