Hi all,
Having no connection to the project but just goaded into it by there only
being a python client to downloading their data, I've written a Perl API
for the "Our World in Data" grapher endpoint at https://ourworldindata.org
After looking through the maillist archive and given that the pytho
Thanks for the feedback. It helps to see someone else write it out to see
what looks good. I think I'll go with the longer name and start getting
WebService::OurWorldInData ready to upload.
Oh, and it's Neil's WebService::HackerNews that I stole most of the API
code from, having decided to try out

Hi Boyd,
I'd go for WebService::OurWorldInData -- you're not going to type the module
name that many times, so I think the longer name is worth it:
use WebService::OurWorldInData;
my $owid = WebService::OurWorldInData->new(...);
When it shows up in various places, it will be more obviou
There are similarly capitalised modules around CPAN, such as Win32::API, for
partly acronymed names, so there's precedence, while still being reasonably
short to type.
