in thread CPAN authors, clean up your directories

I suppose if there was Foo::Bar version 0.8 that's been gathering dust since 1994, and you really wanted that namespace Foo::Bar for yourself, you could simply release Foo::Bar 1.0 that happens to be totally different from the old 0.8.

    Thats possible?

    I had for some reason assumed that things that like were prohibited.

    Interesting idea, I guess i'd have to speak with the CPAN people to find out what the details of doing such a thing would be.

      Let us know, would you?

      Perhaps using a higher version number will be part of the process to "reclaim" a retired name space, as that keeps automated tools happy.
