I suggest that you should use another package name, that's the easiest
way to do.
or else, you need follow the instruction of
http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_adopt_module
that would take a month or two.

I notice that Term::Info was released in 1999, has no documentation, no
testing, only wraps Tput, and is generally not all that useful.
I'm planning to write a proper terminfo wrapping module anyway, and this
seems an ideal name to give it.
CPANTS claims nothing is using it:
http://cpants.perl.org/dist/used_by/Term-Info
If I were to create another one which is more useful, providing more
access to terminfo information, how might I go about creating a release
of it?
I trust you know that releasing under the same name would be marked as
an unauthorized release by the indexer, unless you manage to convince
the original author or the PAUSE Admins to grant you that namespace.
I suggest you first name the module something like, Term::Info::More
to indicate that it is Term::Info with some additional features. Then
you can petition for the Term::Info namespace if you so choose, at a
later date, though that probably won't be necessary or desired.
