You could have the last release of the old module merely contain a stub that transparently loads the new-name module, possibly with a deprecation warning. The old distribution would then depend on whatever the latest version of the new one is. CPAN.pm will then detect a dependency and automatically install the new module for anyone who requests the latest version under the previous name.
