This is Apache::Scoreboard for httpd-2.0 (mod_perl 2.0).
You will still need Apache-Scoreboard-0.10 for mod_perl 1.0 and its apps. CPAN will now always try to install Apache-Scoreboard-2.xx, even when you want it to install Apache-Scoreboard-0.10. Go and tell CPAN maintainers that you don't like it and ask them to work on a solution that will allow several generations of modules with the same name coexist happily on CPAN. Until masses will start complaining I don't see this being resolved.
This seems like a difficult problem to solve, in the short term - one consideration CPAN must take into account is that one doesn't want multiple *non-cooperative* versions of the same module which might arise from different people unknowingly using the same module name. This could be solved by only allowing generations to those registered in some group account, but it becomes involved ....
Nuh, that's usually not the problem, people tend to cooperate most of the time.
What might help, again for the short term, is some variation
of the following ...

May be. But I'm sick of constantly looking for limping ugly workarounds. In fact I'm very much against any workarounds, we need to solve the problem, not work around it. There is a proposal, which is not technically complicated at all, IMHO of course. It just needs to be implemented. If we provide workarounds the solution will never be implemented.
