not sure for whom you mean complicated - not for authors, presumably, and it's also not too difficult on the parsing side (eg, we extract related information on new uploads as part of our cpan search engine). And this pod system functions quite well for $CPAN/scripts/. There is a problem about people forgetting, true, but that would apply for anything ... I think though it'd be good to come up with something that would accommodate those that, for whatever reason, can't or don't want to follow a module naming convention. best regards, randy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
