I think Car::Tesla:: ... is TRT here. Vehicle is nice and general, but I wouldn't expect to share a namespace with stuff for working with my pushbike speedo. Car:: is pretty clear and universal. Internet-of-Things is an amusing byline for journos, but doesn't actually mean anything (or at least, I've never seen a definition that's actually useful).

A::Vehicle::Tesla::ModelS I don't think it's strictly necessary to generalize the top-level namespace. Would one be unable to locate the refrigerator interface module without it being filed under "things"? It might be better as Car::Tesla::ModelS or Tesla::ModelS. --Eric -- --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
