Indeed, yes, I'm well aware of that. The question is whether I want to use
something different as the _CPAN_ name. The CVS module is already called
"gnome-perl", which is fine with me. Calling it "gtk-perl-0.6000.tar.gz"
on CPAN is the issue in question.

It should have the same name on CPAN, to be fair to folks (and to me, the
maintainer.:-)
