I sent this to modules@perl.org, but didn't get a response. So, I'm trying here. My day job has me manually creating descriptors for USB devices more often than I care to, so I've created a module for auto-generating said descriptors. The resulting object tree can then be output as a structure suitable for compiling, or assembling, into a device's firmware. Where in the namespace hierarchy should I put these objects? For the moment I'm using USB::Descriptor::Device, USB::Descriptor::Interface and so on. Eventually I'll also have USB::HID::Descriptor::Device, etc. But, it seems there is no USB namespace in CPAN. I see that packages that represent, or interface with, specific devices live under Device::, and Device::USB in particular. However, that doesn't seem like a proper home for a module that deals with concepts at the specification level, as opposed to interacting with a particular connected device. That, and Device::USB::Descriptor::Device seems a little silly. Suggestions? Thoughts? Any problems with me creating a top level USB namespace?Thread Next
