Not entirely, my understanding of Perl is that the double colon is part of the namespacing of the language. In python the '.' is part of the package name. I would also point out that for Go the '.' is effectively part of the package name and we change them all to hyphens. I think hyphens is the way to go here. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
