This is what I see now as the simplest solution at all fronts:
1) keep the distro name Apache-Test.
2) s|Apache/Test.pm|Apache/TestPlan.pm|
3) contents of Apache/TestPlan.pm:
package Apache::Test; $Apache::Test::VERSION = '1.02'; package Apache::TestPlan; # what was previously Apache::Test code follows
I decided to nevertheless plug these two lines in:
package Apache::Test; $Apache::Test::VERSION = '1.02';
so that CPAN will still index Apache::Test, and we can still tell CPAN.pm to install Apache::Test, same for dependencies list. 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).
It scans all files. And yes you are talking about registered ones.
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?
As long as we have no physical Apache/Test.pm, no. Also the option of using an dual-life Apache::{test|Test} doesn't go away.
