Also that's where we maintain the distro's version.
I'm not familiar enough with how PAUSE indexes modules contained in a distribution ... Does it search all .pm files for package declarations and index what it finds? For example, CPAN.pm itself contains several packages in the same file, but these don't show up in the indices (but that might be because these modules haven't been registered in PAUSE). > Usage-wise, the only change you have to do is this: > > perl -pi -e 's|use Apache::Test([\s;])|use Apache::TestPlan$1|' files > > Is everybody happy with that solution? That sounds good ... So with this Apache::test of mod_perl 1 wouldn't be affected at all? -- best regards, randy
