Putting Informix in the name will mean most non-Informix users will ignore the module. > The only reason AURIJUS wanted it called DBIx::Informix::Perform was that > "PERFORM" was a trademark of Informix and he wanted to be clear of > trademark issues. I didn't see that discussion (sadly have have little time to read [EMAIL PROTECTED] these days). I believe there is no need to "clarify" trademark issues in module names. (In the same way that domain names that include a tradename don't have to include the owner of the trademark.) All that's needed is for the module *documentation* to clarify this (README + pod).
