If this isn't the right forum for this, just let me know where to carry this over to :)
I'm part of the team that works on maintaining perl in the gentoo linux distro (not a plug, but it'll make this explanation a lot easier :). 99% of the time, the modules we add to the distro are nicely self contained, as expected. But occasionally we run into a module that conflicts with the namespace of another module. For example, PodToHtml, which was the product of the late Nick Ing-Simmons, provides a Pod::Find that is specific to this module's html conversions, but that directly conflicts with the now core provided Pod::Find, which bears 0 resemblance to Nick's module. What's the best forum for addressing this? Although it doesn't happen often, it does happen. And yeah, I file bugs on rt :) ~mcummings -- -----o()o---------------------------------------------- Michael Cummings | #gentoo-dev, #gentoo-perl Gentoo Perl Dev | on irc.freenode.net Gentoo/SPARC Gentoo/AMD64 GPG: 0543 6FA3 5F82 3A76 3BF7 8323 AB5C ED4E 9E7F 4E2E -----o()o---------------------------------------------- Hi, I'm a .signature virus!
