Actually I've been meaning to ask something on a previous thread, but here I can just reply to stuff, so it might be easier.
Access is given to the PAUSE ID of the person that owns the particular > module, either on a first-come basis or based on who owns the > namespace (ie via registration in the module list). After all the discussion on the [supposed?] necessity of the namespace registration, I wanted to ask how does CPAN know who the namespace really belongs to if you don't register, who to present the RT to, etc. So now I gather that the RT goes to whoever came first. What about "UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE"? Who gets that? If, for example, WWW::Mechanized is not registered, and I will upload a new WWW::Mechanize (and bump the version), would I get "UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE" status or would I now have the latest "official" release on my PAUSE ID? Thanks, Sawyer.
