Hi Max,

I’m one of the PAUSE admins.

PAUSE treats indexing permissions case-insensitively, so EFL and Efl are the 
same package name, as far as PAUSE is concerned.
It does this because some operating systems (e.g. Windows and MacOS) are 
case-insensitive, so efl.pm and EFL.pm are the same file.

I suggest you rename your distribution – it is strongly recommended that you 
don’t repurpose a package name, once it’s been used on CPAN, as you’ve no way 
of knowing who might be using it (even though you said it can’t be compiled any 
more).

Cheers,
Neil
