I thought > something uglier such as a leading underscore would be better. i don't see making such a broad . almost anything can come after the leading underscore, and i bet someone somewhere is using it for good use. i also would not want to show examples of a fake namespace using a leading underscore. i should be able to use the fake namespace in prose as well as code. i want a top-level namespace that is definately intended for examples. a leading underscore still leaves a lot of decision in the name. -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org please send all messages back to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
