Hi, I am the author of Net::FluidDB, which let's you talk to FluidDB.
FluidDB has been renamed to Fluidinfo, and I should rename the module
in accordance. Is there a recommended way to do this? Or should I just
upload a different distribution and document the rename?
I'd upload a new distribution, rename the module, and also include a
backward-compatibility wrapper module.
I would do nothing until there is a change in Fluidinfo that makes the
FluidDB module stop working. I would also continue to use the old name
inappropriately to annoy the marketeers.
And if the change really is name-only, I might upload a very light
Fluidinfo module that simply aliases the name space -- probably using
direct symbol table manipulation, instead of using the Alias module.
