defyance has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I have some software, that I've put quite a bit of effort into. Something that I feel would make a good addition to CPAN. In a way, it is reinventing the wheel, but this wheel fits a slightly different kind of vehicle, and was built with different features. There are other sets of modules on CPAN that is similar to what I've been working on. However, I feel that my software fits a slightly different niche. I released a bit of it at node Seen.pm. That code has been ditched in favor of a more practical solution with Cache::FileCache, but you get the idea.
My question to you is, with knowledge of existing software fitting a similar goal, do I release it anyhow? I've never been in this kinda situation, and am looking for advice.

A conclusion is simply the place where someone got tired of thinking.
