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
Is everybody happy with that solution?
yup, sounds good to me.
