Anyone know what the accepted procedure is to change the name of a
module? I presume I just have to talk to the modules@perl.org guys,
for the CPAN portion of this. But with regard to changing the name of
a module in such a way that folks using the module don't suddenly find
that their code does not work any more.
Not that millions of poeple are relying on Date::Discordian ...
The name changes would be:
Date::Chinese -> Date::Calendar::Chinese
Date::Discordian -> Date::Calendar::Discordian
Date::Doomsday -> Date::Algorithm::Doomsday
Date::DayOfWeek -> Date::Algorithm::DayOfWeek
Date::Easter -> Date::Algorithm::Easter
Date::ISO -> Date::Calendar::ISO
Date::Leapyear -> Date::Algorithm::Leapyear
Date::Passover -> Date::Algorithm::Passover
Date::SundayLetter -> Date::Algorithm::SundayLetter
Date::ICal -> Date::Calendar::ICal
The only ones of these that I think are actually being used by more
than one person is Date::ICal and perhaps Date::Leapyear.
What have others of you done when you've changed the name of a module?
