Help with module naming, please.by saberworks (Curate) |

saberworks has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
During the past few months I was tasked with writing an extensible WebDAV server (running on mod_perl). The intention of my employer is to release the modules on CPAN. Before I started, I went to cpan and ran a search for "Apache::DAV" in "All." Nothing came up, so I figured it was safe to use that namespace.
Fast forward, it's time to release the module, and someone did another search, but this time, instead of using "All," he selected "Modules." Surprise, surprise, there was something in there called Apache::DAV which hasn't been updated since 2002. None of the actual files in the list seem to conflict with the one I have (Apache/DAV.pm). I am wondering what the proper thing to do is. Should I rename my module (any suggestions?) or try to submit it as is? Thanks in advance.
