LG.pm   bdpOAllows remote command execution on routers
LG::Cisco.pmbdpOSpecific remote access methods for Cisco routers
LG::Juniper.pm  bdpOSpecific remote access methods for Juniper routers

These modules are based on the original lg.pl (known as "Looking
Glass") by Ed Kerns.  These modules allow programmers to more quickly
implement front-end interfaces so users can safely execute commands
remotely on a router.

Okay no problem.

So you're recommending overall:

Router::LG
Router::LG::Cisco
Router::LG::Juniper

It sounds good to me.  I'd kind of feed wierd about the creation of the
Router namespace as well, but it'd probably be good for other developers
in the long run.

Do I need to resubmit, or can we just go from here?

Router:: namespace?

[Chris Josephes]

Is the Router:: namespace being actively checked?  I uploaded a file,
received acknowledgement of the upload, but nothing else.

namespace request Solaris::(InstallDB Contents Package Patchdiag)

[Chris Josephes]

I'd like to register the following namespaces.

NAMEDSLI   Description
   ---
Solaris::InstallDB  bdpO   Scans for Solaris system/installation info
Solaris::Contents   bdpO   Parses /var/sadm/install/contents file
Solaris::PackagebdpO   Parses Solaris Package pkginfo files
Solaris::Patchdiag  bdpO   Parses a Solaris patchdiag.xref file

I asked around on comp.lang.perl.modules about contributing and received 
only one response (although it was positive).  Currently, there are no
CPAN modules that provide these functions.
