One solution might be to name all version as major.minor and they are compatible to the previous one if the major number is equal. This sounds like a good idea in general to me. But what is wrong with Apache2-Scoreboard? If it does the same as Apache-Scoreboard the rewrite is not much more as perl -i -pe 's/Apache::Scoreboard/Apache2::Scoreboard/g' my project files and otherwise I have to check the code anyway. One more point if we have a additional namespace Apache2 all new modules and the one with different versions for mp1 and mp2 can exist on CPAN. That is a real advantage and the winner over time anyway. -- Boris -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
