The best and easiest thing is to contact the author of the original namespace to give you co-maintainer rights. Maybe this way you even get him involved and relight his fire. He then needs to go to pause.cpan.org and enter your PAUSE ID on every module or submodule in Qt. He can even pass it completely over to you. If that fails for whatever reason goto http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_adopt_module and try the next steps. > We'd like to be able to push the module through CPAN once we're > done.

Only drawback is you get "UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE" warnings and need to specify the exact file when installing from CPAN shell. But of course it's better you find the original author. The namespace is not really registered as far as I can see. So your chances are good the the indexer simply respects a higher version number once you have the (co-)maintainer perms. > I think the top-level namespace is appropriate since that's exactly > what other packages (ie, Wx) do.
