I know that there is "Device::" but I > think it is misnamed (too long and the devices are /dev/something, not > /device/something). well, on unix systems there is a /dev directory, but this is Perl. If you want something to emulate a device, then Device::* seems to be the right place. perhaps people would like to use this one other platforms than Unix. besides, in the context of programming languages, i always think 'Dev' means some sort of development tool, even though i have to keep reminding myself that 'Devel' is where Perl development modules live. the 'Device' name, on the other hand, is not ambiguous. there are a lot of 'interesting' modules in Acme::, too. -- brian d foy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Perl services for hire CGI Meta FAQ - http://www.perl.org/CGI_MetaFAQ.html Troubleshooting CGI scripts - http://www.perl.org/troubleshooting_CGI.html
