similar: File::MMagic rationale: Since the module is intended for "munging files", the namespace should be File::Munger. The module should be listed because it provides (or will) very usefull things, such as determining the type of a file, or extracting only the textual content from it (think "retrieving text from a pdf", or similar stuff), among others. Although File::MMagic is used for identifying the file type in File::Munger, this last one also checks extensions and other things such as the file content (think "<html> for an HTML file", or similar :) ). enteredby: COG (José Alves de Castro) enteredon: Mon Jun 16 14:09:57 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: File:: ::Munger bdpfg File munging utilities COG Thanks for registering, -- The PAUSE PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=37500000_8b73501bf77117c0&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=37500000_8b73501bf77117c0&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
