This isn't really the best place to ask this, but I've submitted this to various contact addresses on cpantesters over the past year or so, and never received an answer, so I'll ask here in the hopes that someone can answer.

Over the years, I've contributed a number of modules to CPAN that needed to be renamed. In 2007, I renamed a bunch to fit the accepted naming standards such as:

   DateManip renamed to Date-Manip

and I've renamed a couple based on recommendations from the perl-module list, or for various other reasons such as:

   Locale-Messages renamed to Locale-VersionedMessages
   cpantorpm renamed to App-CPANtoRPM

Unfortunately, if you go to my cpantesters.org page, all of the old distribution names appear in the "Distribution Summary" box. Is there anything that I can do to clean up whatever data is used to create that list? I'd like to have the list reflect only modules that currently exist if possible?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
