I have been thinking about a reorganization of the Apache/Perl modules for
a while, and have come to the conclusion that it would probably be a good
idea. Please tell me what you think about this proposal.

Per Einar, I have cut most your email only for convenience...

I agree with you.  It would be great (necessary?) to reorganise the mod_perl
modules on CPAN ready for mod_perl/apache v2.  Users of v1 would also
benefit from a more descriptive name-space.

However, the major problem, as I see it is, is simply that people already
KNOW modules by a specific name and changing them is probably going to lead
to confusion and possibly even some bitterness.  If I'm setting up a new
server I'm going to be mighty pissed to have to unlearn what I know about
the mod_perl module namespace...

If you think this can be overcome (symbolic links on CPAN anyone?), or if
you see major support for your proposal, then you also have my vote.  I
think your idea is sound and logical.  Nice one.
