I'm not sure there is a reasonable solution this. The answer to the question, "Is the XYZ module installed?" is to search @INC for "XYZ.pm". On an case insensitive file system, "xyz.pm" or "xYz.pm" or "XYZ.PM" all match. The only "answer" I can see would be to prohibit module indexing unless module files have case-folded unique names, and even then we've hit issues with things like "version.pm" and Version::Requirements, where it isn't the file name but the path name at issue. > Perhaps ExtUtils::Install should refuse to overwrite a file of differing > case?
