Requesting namespace "Net::MsgLink"
I'm working on an abstraction on top of a network link, which is established by other means, the abstraction is only the "user" part of the link, not the provider. The provider can be a TCP socket, a UNIX socket, a pipe, or whatever can safely send a reliable stream of data. The user layer which I'm working on provides a "message" service, i.e. it sends and receives message packets, a message being (length, payload). It can compress and encrypt the payload. Basically, a Net::MsgLink object is created with a file descriptor, on which sysread() and syswrite() can be called, or an IO::Handle object (on which the same sysread/syswrite can be used). That's it. A simple abstraction, but very reusable. Raphael

Announce Unicode::Normal
Unicode::Normal is a pure Perl module (rather than a program like charlint.pl) to do Unicode normalisation (compose, decompose, canonical ordering, block identification, etc.) designed to integrate into 5.6 well. I will upload in a couple of days. Since the interface is pretty clear as are the requirements. This module can probably enter directly at the beta level. Just some confusion in my mind over compatible composition (like, which ones to exclude) Martin Hosken

Hi, I would like to contribute to the CPAN activities. Here are the information, you request in your web page: - name: Christophe DEHAUDT - email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - home page: none for now - preferred user id: CDE - contribution planning: 1) I already get a module that allows to Debug And Trace some perl code with 'programming by contract' principles. I plan to name it: 'Devel::Datum'. DLSI mail will follow. 2) I plan to release a module to ease the writing of CGI script with multiple screens. Thanks, Christophe Dehaudt.

Could you add a few words for the archiving gremlins why you believe Devel::Datum is a good name and how it relates to what the module does?

Could you add a few words for the archiving critters how the module is positioned in comparison to other solutions to the same problem? Thanks! Thanks for your interest, Christophe, -- andreas

I've not been following this but I'll make one observation: Regardless of any constraints/conventions/procedures etc relating to the "CPAN" archive and "PAUSE" upload software, the "Perl Module List" is a publication produced by Andreas (and nominally myself) and we have ultimate control over what's in it. The original conception was that CPAN would be open for uploads of pretty much anything (we would not want it any other way) but that entry into the "Perl Module List" would require that the module name, at least, met some very basic informally (ill)defined criteria. I hope that's helpful in some way. Tim.
Re: So, I did this exception library for Perl 5...
Graham Barr is nominated as the Exception pumpking. I forward your message to him. I also forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED] SEX is not only a cutesy name we at [EMAIL PROTECTED] mostly frown upon, it is also already taken, at least on a case insensitive basis, by MSCHWERN. I recently made the proposal to name all the candidates in the racing for the best Exception library Exception::Something (pick your favorite instead of "Something", that is;). So anyway, if you're inclined to rename or not, feel free to upload it to CPAN as it makes future discussions about alternatives easier if the candidates are not spread over multiple places.
