Hi [again], Brian, As a matter of fact, I did what I usually do when I don't get the instant gratification of an answer - I took a reasonable guess. I installed my module under the Data:: namespace. Still, I am glad to see your guideline listed. On the other hand, I would think this URL should be posted with the suggestion to nest in an existing namespace; that would have saved me the trouble of asking.
BTW, which newsgroup is that? (And is this reply to be posted there as well? Oh, and I'm out here with my hair in rollers! :-)) I would guess comp.lang.perl.modules but I just peeked in there and did not see your email. (The email header says just perl.modules but that does not show up on my provider's list.) Thanks for the help here. I need to preserve this mail so that I keep the URL handy. ;-) (Yeah, a bookmark might be easier..) -- Jacob Salomon ________________________________ From: brian d foy <brian.d....@gmail.com> To: Jacob Salomon <jakesalo...@yahoo.com> Sent: Thu, March 3, 2011 11:15:53 PM Subject: Re: List of existing namesapces (Re: PAUSE indexer report JASALOMON/UNLreport-1.02.tar.gz) [[ This message was both posted and mailed: see the "To," "Cc," and "Newsgroups" headers for details. ]] The naming guidelines are at https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=pause_namingmodules Every module is listed in the 02packages.details.txt file, although that might not be useful for you: http://www.cpan.org/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz The better thing to do is find some modules that are similar to yours. You've probably already done that when you checked CPAN to see if someone had already done your task. :) -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org PAUSE instructions: http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about Archives: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules Please send all messages back to modules@perl.org with no CC to me.
