Hi all! I recently failed at naming my distribution, but I'll add to my defence it is the hardest problem in CS. :-)
At some point, I thought Web::Solid::Test::Basic was a good name for a module, and I thought that if I added stuff, it would be separate distributions. It turned out to not be very sensible, and the code in there isn't used a lot, but Web::Solid::Test::HTTPLists is, and it belonged in the same distribution. My project is still probably the only user though. So, I found that I'd rather call the Web-Solid-Test, so I created a lib/Web/ Solid/Test.pod that documents the commonalities between the two above, and tried to upload that as Web-Solid-Test-0.020 as can be seen below, and it didn't work out. How should this be done? If it is required, I could delete the Web-Solid- Test-Basic distribution right away.
