Let's say we have a module Foo::Bar, which has a dual life. It's distributed in the original (master) package Far-Tar-0.01.tar.gz and is also included in an another package Mar-Car-0.06.tar.gz. The module Foo::Bar has the same version in both packages. What I'm asking for is a way to tell the indexer to pick the package Far-Tar-0.01.tar.gz when asked for module Foo::Bar. My proposal is to introduce a special variable inside the package Foo::Bar which will tell the indexer that its master package is 'Far-Tar'. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:stas@stason.org http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
