You'd think that but considering how few people manage to write proper pod, add a $VERSION or even a correct version, a synopsis, or bundle their distributions up right I encourage people to use whatever tool, outdated or not, that will help PAUSE, CPAN and the search engines index stuff properly. Also, if you read the man page for h2xs you'll see that there are flags to remove the XS bits from the framework. Far too many people who either think they are too clever to use h2xs or simply don't know the tools exist are a large part of CPAN pollution. Of course, I won't mention the Acme:: namespace which seems to be very well represented by the London.pm :) *>Can't read it if we don't know about it :) *>Will check it out... It's a bit outdated since a few things have come down the pike in 2 years but much of it still holds. e.
