And things like ADT::Queue::Priority make a lot of sense.
I also follow that, it's something I missed on CPAN. > >> New top level for implmentation of Abstract Data Types. > > What I don't follow is what an ADT.pm would contain. The OP said he wanted to register description: Abstract Data Type top level ADT as a top level domain. I do believe it's important to have this top level domain. But I also do believe that it is important that this top level domain is common, what will mean, that it isn't registered to anybody :-) I would suggest to simply register ADT::Specific::Datatype and the community will register, too, ADT::AnotherSpecific::Datatype Greetings, Janek
