(or threads::shared::foo) in my opinion (and only that right now), we have no territorial rights to any namespace, and i don't want to reject good names for only that reason. i agree that authors should talk to other people about their plans, but ultimately this is a community (as in commune) and not a regulated market. i'm more interested in community freedom than individual rights---but that's just my opinion. if we decide something else, i'll live with that, too. :) -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org please send all messages back to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
