We are using at CENA a perl module called Ivy.pm for more than 5 years now.

It was proven to be very powerfull for developping multi-agents /multi-plateform prototypes. In facts it is a software bus, very easy to use. It works on many languages and many architectures. added explanations: A new agent on the bus just connect, subscribes to messages through simple regexp (part of the regexp being given as arguments to callback) and send messages. Messages are text, and as any agent can subscribe to any regexp, it is very easy to use and add new agents.

Ivy is already freely available on our web site (thx to adrianh for the correction), but has never been uploaded on the CPAN. My question relates to the module name. In-house, we could hardly change this module name because it is used in more than 50 applications and in more than 10 teams.

So I can only see two ways to upload this usefull module:

we upload the module with this root name: Ivy

we upload the module in a subhierarchy Xxx::Ivy but we need to build a wrapper for our own needs... This solution seems to be a bit tricky and I fear this could be error-prone.

Do you have some suggestions?
