"Deprecate the old module and release"
Agreed, but as I've learned through experience, one can't dump a "shit... I made a mistake", I'll rename this when even one user is using your distribution. It sucks, and it's a learning curve... my advice is ask here on Perlmonks (or any other site that is legit for CPAN naming) then do due diligence. It's a hairy situation, because there's no one confirmation that can be made.
If you've already published a distribution, don't dump it if you even smell a single person is using it. Burn another namespace, but ask first. Again modules <at> cpan.org.

Perhaps an alternative to this could be to migrate the interface module (previously the old module) from its own distribution into the new package. Being unable to depreciate a module, ever, gave us MS DOS ;-).
