There's kind of a trade-off here. Right now, when module authors disappear, it's very difficult for a new author to take over that namespace because it's registered to an author/email address that may not be active anymore. With author namespaces, they can just create a new namespace under their CPAN id. -------------------- Christopher Josephes [EMAIL PROTECTED]
