One question remains: should the package be renamed to Apache-Tester as well? Since people will see Apache::Test and will try to install Apache::Test in CPAN.pm, and that won't work.
Probably to make a clean break the whole package should be renamed. And also, probably the current Apache-Test packages on CPAN should be deleted, as Apache::Test would still show up in the CPAN indices, under older Apache-Test packages (eg, there's some obsolete modules in older versions of libwww-perl that can be seen within CPAN.pm). I think though that the Apache::Test module would still remain in the indices after such deletion, and CPAN.pm would direct queries to the module owner. You'll probably have to contact modules@perl.org to get the module itself removed from the indices.
Yes, that shouldn't be a problem.
So currently we are down to two options:
1) Integrate test.pm in Test.pm. I think we should bundle Apache::Test with future versions of mod_perl to make the maintenance simple and remove the original Apache::test from it.
2) Rename Apache::Test to Apache::Tester (or else) to resolve the collision. Rename the distro Apache-Test to Apache-TestHarness (or else) to avoid confusion.
Looks like if we can provide a clean implementation of (1) that's would be the best solution. Randy says that it shouldn't be a problem with winFU. If David says that it's cool with MacOSX, let's try to take this route then.
