Apologies if this is posted to the wrong place. Also posted to the

I have an almost-publishable module to turn POD into PDF. Pod::Pdf is
rather old, doesn't handle multiple files nicely[1], and is very hard
to extend since it uses neither Pod::Parser nor PDF::API2.
Thinking of calling the module Pod::Pdf2.
[1] I have submitted an updated version to the Pod::Pdf author, to both
publish his =inclue POD extnesion for including multiple files, and to
allow a POD PDF of a (recursed) directory, but wrote the new module in
the week sine.
How about trying to contact the author and see if he's willing to let you
maintain Pod::Pdf? That way you can put your new module into action
without adding another module to CPAN. Especially if it's possible to
support all old methods.
Personally I think that cluttering CPAN with almost similar modules is a
bad idea, even if they are better.
