Hi people. I'm a monk from when i started developing WWW::SMS and almost every problem i got developing it passed on these pages. The same day i started discussing the module here, on comp.lang.perl.modules and started an opensource development effort. With the help of various monks i got a good job done. In the meanwhile i asked for a CPAN account to put up the module. I was aware another similar module was already available so I told the author about my project. Obtained the necessary CPAN userid i submitted for namespace and i got it. But surprise surprise, it was already assigned to AWRIGLEY, the author of Net::SMS::Web!!! He changed his namespace just after i noticed him (thinking I was doing the most correct thing) about my project! So I asked modules@perl.org for advice but nobody seems to care. Now I'm asking you wise monks: what am i to do? I put a lot of work in this project, i got an up and running website on sourceforge by that name. I wished the project to be in a CVS so everybody can help about it and i got it cause i think that's important. I'm really disappointed by CPAN administrators and by AWRIGLEY: i thought Perl community to be much more loyal and helpful, just like i find perlmonks to be. Any comment on the subject is welcome. Thank you.
