New modules

Hiya. I'm about to start work on some GIS programming in Perl, and will likely end up with a few modules that might usefully go onto CPAN. From what I've read on the FAQs though, it seems like a bit of a minefield to choose a name that someone else doesn't want, and to find out if anyone's alre

RE: Tie::Array::Sorted

Title: RE: Tie::Array::Sorted Ach, dont be. IMO there isnt much call to use these modules in real life. They impose an overall performance penalty that outwieghs the convenience factor. But it is nice to know (in that warm fuzzy way) that they are in toolbox if you really need em. BTW

Tie::Array::Sorted

Hi. I'm about to write a module which presents an array in sorted order; $a[0] will always be the "least" element by some comparator. Miraculously, there doesn't seem to be such a beast on CPAN already. Is Tie::Array::Sorted a reasonable name for it, or would another one be more obvious? -- Rul

OK, maybe I'm missing a LOT of context here, 'cause I haven't been agressively keeping up with this mailing list, but the security hole argument seems a bit odd. These META.yml files we're refering to -- these are meta data for managing the build process, files that will be distributed along with
