Subject: Array::Heap vs Array::Heap2
I think that just because Array::Heap was planned there is no reason not to ask John Macdonald for the namespace... It hasn't been used, despite claims that it will be since 1999, when mapl came out. Since your module does the job, and does it right I think it rightfully deserves the adequate namespace. Please contact John about it.

Hi, I just saw your comment. Show quoted text
> Please contact John about it.
I actually contacted John even before publishing the module, also the perl modules list. To make a long story short, John was very insistent that his module would be better, and didn't give up the namespace. So right now there is nothing I can do about it. You might want to take this to the perl module list, which is the official arbiter nowadays, although I doubt it will help much, given the good job they already do when censoring modules from the modules list based on non-technical merits.
Array::Heap is now, finally, on CPAN.
