But here's how I found it: Whilst checking the watch error (highlighted by PET) I noticed it was still using search.cpan.org, whereas most packages packages use metacpan.org. So I went to metacpan.org and begun searching for the package with it's old name... which wasn't found. To double check I then decided to instead search for one of the known modules from Time-Modules (e.g Time::ParseDate), which I found. After investigating the changelog I confirmed it was the same module and had been renamed: > 2013.0916 2013-09-16 > - Module NAME changed to Time::ParseDate. Change requested by > David Steinbrunner. So ultimately it was pure detective work... which I think it might be difficult to implement as an automated system -- Daniel Lintott GPG Key: 4096R/5D73EC6E
