Probably I am being stupid for a: Raising a more heat than light issue b: being off topic (This should be on module-authors@perl.org ?) but I fail to see why any user of a CPAN module should primarily be interested in its underlying implementation. Hence I believe that most of the modules in the Tie:: namespace could be better named, based on what the module provides. Nicholas ClarkThread Previous | Thread Next
