Discussion of module's importance.  (note: "dngor" is the creator
of POE.  I am "Citizen_X").

 dngor: what do you think about me writing POE::Component::POE?
 I think it's wacked in the head, especially if you're just gonna
use POE; 1;
 hey.. that's not going to get me a cpan id, dngor ;)
 Oh!  Scratch that.
 you need the cue again?
 POE::Component::POE is a wonderful idea.  It embodies just about
every module virtue Tom Christiansen has enumerated.


Module background explanation:

POE literally means "Perl Object Environment", but like many good acronyms
it has other has meanings.  One of these other meanings is "Part of
Everything", which explains modules like POE::Component::IRC.  Since POE
is obviously covered under the "Everthing" umbrella, I considered it
necessary to have a POE::Component::POE module, which I would take it upon
myself to write.  As the above conversation indicates, the original
module's author heartily agrees with my view.


Thank you, and have a nice day.

text/directory and text/x-vcard

2000-03-15 Thread Andrew J Bromage

G'day Perl modulers.

I'm starting work on a package to manipulate text/directory types
(at the moment I'm concentrating on vCard, but vCalendar could
be useful in the future too).

I'm at a loss as to where this package should go in the namespace.  The
data which it will manipulate is directory information (in the LDAP
sense of the word, not in the filesystem sense of the word), and so
it would seem to make the most sense to use the word "Directory"
somewhere.  I notice that "Directory" is not in use at the moment.
However, it might be a bit confusing to have something in the toplevel
namespace called "Directory" which has nothing to do with filesystems.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Andrew Bromage



Module Name Review: Net::ICal

2000-03-15 Thread Eric Busboom


I'm writing an implementation of RFC2445, 2446 and 2447, the ICalendar
protocols and specification. These protocols are used to transfer calendar 
and schedule data, and are roughly analogous to RFC822, POP and SMTP. I
propose to call the resulting module Net::ICal. 
 
Does that sound OK?

eric.

To me it looks very specific for one application and not too extensible.
Also there already is three gazillion template systems doing similar
things. I would think that some of them could be used (or changed) to work
like yours?

Anyway, if you upload it ::Wrapper doesn't really say much about what it
is doing. Apache::SimpleReplace or something would maybe be better.
