I think this name and mailing list is excellent and much better than P2EE.
The mere fact that there is an endorsed perl.org mailing list for people
who wish to ask about enterprise issues (even without a specific standard)
is a huge step further in terms of making people aware that Perl CAN BE
used for the enterprise.
That is, there is a definite perception difference between
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] has a
perception of being endorsed as a place for a standard rather than just a
single couple of people's ideas on sourceforge.com (of which there are
thousands) and is likely to get more attention.
