Re: How to deprecate a module ?

What's the procedure I need to follow ? I couldn't see anything on
the PAUSE menu that looked promising.

I'd suggest the following:
- upload InlineX::C2XS to CPAN
- upload a new version of deprecated Inline::C2XS which will complain
loudly (warn or syslog) when used. It will also tell the user to use
the new InlineX::C2XS module.
- wait 2 or 3 months
- upload a new version of deprecated Inline::C2XS which will complain
loudly (warn or syslog) and *die* when used.
- wait 2 or 3 months
- with PAUSE edit Inline::C2XS metadata . Change "lifecycle" parameter
to "delete from database"
- remove your Inline::C2XS module files from your PAUSE account
