I'm not so sure it's a problem - I did it quite on purpose. basically, the branch is saying it won't try to install, say, Apache2::RequestRec over Apache::RequestRec, the reason being that a single call to Apache2.pm would render the new installation useless and cause utter confusion on the users end. I really don't see how it can be any other way - I absolutely, positively do not want to deal with questions about how prior beta versions mix with later beta versions and, eventually, the official 2.0. that is, this new version is completely incompatible with prior 1.99 versions and folks need to take active steps to clean out their site_lib before moving forward. > > [...] > > >>If you have issues or concerns with this path please feel free to >>raise them. > > > Anybody know if this branch actually solves our current CPAN > issues with trunk?

Apache2:: is a namespace like any other, and it previously did not exist, so I would expect it to install like any other namespace but not stomp on prior existing stuff, which were the big concerns. --Geoff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
