but there's no cost to an extra level, right? and you have the level anyway, it's just that the taxonomy is inconsistent... I mean, if underscores were preferred for levels then we'd call it Proc_PID_File, no? If you object to an extra level then we could just lump that functionality into Proc::PID (which then also have to do other stuff like ::Of) but then you'd be forcing people to have functionality they don't care for. Proc::PID could then have stuff that Proc::PID::File needs, which is as it should be. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Bunce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 2:31 PM To: Erick Calder Cc: Tim Bunce; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Module submission Proc::PID::File On Tue, Jul 16, 2002 at 08:58:07AM -0700, Erick Calder wrote: > > having both a Proc::PID_File module and a Proc::PID::File > > module doesn't help people. > > sorry, I didn't explain myself correctly. there will not be 2 modules, only > one, reclassified, and Steven has asked me to maintain it.
