I agree that just because a module uses Moose it doesn't mean it should be in the Moose or MooseX namespace, that was never the issue.
However, I don't think it is wrong to let people know that Moose is involved since the first time you install such a module on an older platform (and there are some hosting sites that still run 5.8.8) you are in for a surprise. The newest version of perl I have seen on the hosting sites I deal with is 5.10.1 and they do not have a full install of the MooseX stuff. Yes, the end user will installing missing modules into their own directories, but it is time consuming.

It's just a module that happens to use Moose as an object system. Putting Moose in its name is silly; from a user's POV that's an implementation detail (albeit I'll tend to avoid things not using Moose if I'm planning to extend the module). -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our Catalyst commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team. ----- No virus found in this message.
