But won't the CPAN indices (which are used by both CPAN.pm
and CPANPLUS.pm) still just recognize one version of
mod_perl.pm? Either the current one associated with mp1, or,
when mp2 is out of development, that associated with mp2
(assuming mod_perl.pm of mp2 has a higher version compared
to that of mp1). Or will CPANPLUS go beyond the CPAN
indices?
One (qualitatively similar) example is the GD module, for
which there's two major (incompatible) versions, 1 and 2.
Currently CPAN.pm reports GD as being version 2.12, and so
to install an earlier version 1.x, you have to tell CPAN.pm
explicitly which distribution you want to install.
