I already uploaded two other modules Tk::Zinc and SVG::SVG2zinc. So I have now some little experience on it. However in the case of Ivy, the trad-off is between CPAN namespace pollution and preservation of our numerous existing applications. We can hardly get rid of 5 years of code, just to upload it to the CPAN. That's why I am looking for a wrapper technic or something similar to maintain the current Ivy.pm inhouse, while delivering a Xxx:Ivy on the CPAN.
You are right, the website is currently down, I pray it will be up again on Monday. Sorry for this.
