For what is worth, I disagree with this approach. I have released a few tiny modules on CPAN, not because they were incredible pieces of software but in the hope that someone besides me would find them useful. As far as I/Google can tell, they are being used here and there, they are making other people's lives easier: that's a good enough reason to make them public. Sure, they will *never* reach the numbers of the greatest CPAN stuff out there: so what? > Please at least give a summary of the alternatives and how they differ, > in the documentation. This one, I can agree with. @Diab: please go ahead. Be sure to choose the right namespace based on the good advice you got here. Good to add the information suggested by Karen, too. Ciao -- bronto
