Could you just sneak the package into the core? So, you'd release the normal .tar.gz to CPAN for the module and include that tar in core. Then the core Makefile at some point could recurse off and do the install on that embedded module. CPAN wouldn't have to know it was there so it wouldn't create a conflict. -- </chris> The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush.
