Namespace conflicts

If this isn't the right forum for this, just let me know where to carry this 
over to :)

I'm part of the team that works on maintaining perl in the gentoo linux distro 
(not a plug, but it'll make this explanation a lot easier :). 99% of the 
time, the modules we add to the distro are nicely self contained, as 
expected. But occasionally we run into a module that conflicts with the 
namespace of another module. For example, PodToHtml, which was the product of 
the late Nick Ing-Simmons, provides a Pod::Find that is specific to this 
module's html conversions, but that directly conflicts with the now core 
provided Pod::Find, which bears 0 resemblance to Nick's module. What's the 
best forum for addressing this? Although it doesn't happen often, it does 
happen. And yeah, I file bugs on rt :)
