I've looked for a module which supports simple ar archive files and found none. So I've been coding a module and will soon be ready for an alpha release. I believe the module should be called Archive::Ar since it parallels the Archive::Tar module quite closely. Is that acceptable? Further, I need to go through the proper motions to submit the module, and also reserve this namespace. From the notes on CPAN, I need to: 1) Register at PAUSE 2) reserve the module in the namespace; status RIGHT NOW idPO, and progressing to adPO when I submit the module Correct and in that order? Anything else I'm not understanding properly from the CPAN notes? Also, where's the best place to fish for interesting feedback? I'm proposing to implement not only a compliant version of ar files, but also offer extensions to suit some obvious needs. Is comp.lang.perl.modules is the obvious and appropriate place?
