I would like to publish a validator of Spanish fiscal identifiers

I'd say anywhere under Finance:: would be a suitable candidate.
Thank you!
NIFs (and NIEs) play the role of identity cards, each native Spaniard
has a card with its NIF. I think something broader than "finance" would
be better. Perhaps Data::, though that's quite generic.
Data::FiscalIdentifier::Spanish
Ah, I assumed when I saw "fiscal" that it was purely finance-related -
it sounds like they are indeed more general than that.
As it's more general, I think you're probably right that somewhere under
Data:: would be suitable (a fiscal identifier is, after all, a piece of
data). Data::FiscalIdentifier::Spanish sounds reasonable to me
(although not too sure about "FiscalIdentifier" - might be worth
considering other options like:
IdentityNumber
IdentificationNumber
NationalIdentifier
Not sure that any of those are better than FiscalIdentifier though.
Oh, and my apologies for inadvertently responding off-list last time!
