Apply for namespace registration

Please use this form to apply for the registration of a namespace for a module you have written or are going to write. The request will be sent off to the modules@perl.org people who are maintaining the Modules List. A registration is not a prerequisite for uploading. It is just recommended for better searchability of the CPAN and to avoid namespace clashes. You will be notified when the registration is approved but you can upload immediately, there's no need to wait for an approval.
