Sorry for the manual submission, but when clicking the submit button at https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=apply_mod nothing happens. My IE6.0.26 (w2k) doesn't seem to even try to submit the form. If it did anyway... well :)
These are the values I tried to submit: OpenDirectory::Category 11 b m p O p Match text to OpenDirectory/dmoz categories Mailing list, name to be determined by the namespace WWW::Search::OpenDirectory OpenDirectory::Category is a set of classes to match text/urls against the OpenDirectory/dmoz.org categories, without access to the http://dmoz.org/ web site. You throw it a URL and get back a number of OpenDirectory categories where it belongs. One thing I still have trouble with is the namespace. I asked for opinions on PerlMonks some time ago: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=165912 After having thought long and hard about this one more time (and having tried out four different sets of names) I finally ended up with OpenDirectory::Category OpenDirectory::Category::Matcher::Word OpenDirectory::Category::MatchResult for the most important classes. That way I don't hog the entire OpenDirectory name, and I still get OpenDirectory::Category (which I need). It might belong in Search::, but I don't know. It does not belong in WWW::, because this is not a web thing. Sure, the OpenDirectory contents happen to be central to http://dmoz.org/ but that's not the point. And the module doesn't access the web site when it categorizes data. As for OpenDirectory vs DMOZ, well the module to search http://dmoz.org/ is called WWW::Search::OpenDirectory. Another thing: the module contains a lot of data used when matching: 35M, the gzipped file is about 10M. Is this a problem? Should it be flagged somehow? (I mention it in the README file.) /J -------- ------ ---- --- -- -- -- - - - - - Johan Lindström Sourcerer @ Boss Casinos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest bookmark: "search.cpan.org ExtUtilsModuleMaker - Better th..." <http://search.cpan.org/author/RGEOFFREY/ExtUtils-ModuleMaker-0.31229/lib/ExtUtils/ModuleMaker.pm>
