Bug #99485 for Nagios-Nrpe: Nagios::Nrpe vs Nagios::NRPE namespace clash.

Subject:	Nagios::Nrpe vs Nagios::NRPE namespace clash.

Hi,

I came across both your modules and recognized the potential for a namespace clash. While CPAN and Perl module namespaces are case-sensitive, many tools are not. If both are installed on a case-insensitive filesystem like OS X they will overwrite each other. Similarly, rt.cpan.org appears to be confused about which queue is for which module, I'm not even sure which I'm reporting to so I have CC'd both authors.

I'm writing to let you both know. Hopefully you'll work something out.

Thanks,
Schwern

There doesn't seem to be a Nagios::nrpe package any more. I can't find it either by searching search.cpan.org or by metacpan.org. Also https://metacpan.org/author/AVERNA doesn't list any nrpe package anymore. I will mark this issue as fixed.
