I don't. Thank you for your more considered response. My opinion is that "pragma" isn't anything different than a module. It's a .pm file. It gets loaded and runs an "import" method. Whether it affects the hints variable or other things is sort of irrelevant. There are lower-case modules on CPAN already. Plenty of them. Nothing stops you from uploading under such a name or stops people from using it. (E.g. "common::sense") The only issue is whether it should be *registered*, which is an entirely optional thing anyway. Personally, I think that module registration is an outdated concept that we should eliminate, but I don't get to make those decisions and there are still PAUSE admins who blessedly volunteer time pondering such requests.
