If you guys end up finally collaborating, one very minor request I would
have is that it goes into CPAN as something more standard like WWW::
namespace rather than a marketing name like RoboWeb.
RoboWeb is actually a good product name (and in fact do a search on google
for other tools with a RoboWeb label attached to them), but it really opens
up room for misinterpretation in the future. And personally, I think these
seem like indispensable tools that should be a standard CPAN addition.
Calling it RoboWeb on CPAN will make it as confusing as figuring out which
template solution to use -- but I suspect that web testing features can be
fairly standardized (unlike templates).
