As you’re suggesting, you should change the name of the distribution to HTML-Formatter. This will resolve your problem with PAUSE, and for most tools things will just work. You have existing open issues in the HTML-Format bug queue in RT. After you’ve released with the new dist name, you could email the RT support address and ask them to do some behind-the-scenes to rename the queue to the new dist name. Cheers, Neil
