Hi Luis,
Package names usually go from more general to specific so
Queue::Filesys
seems to me to be a more intuitive/normal ordering ... if I were searching CPAN
for
different plugin queue modules via the CPAN shell, I would definitely start by
searching
cpan> i /^Queue::/
and not
cpan> i /Queue/
I like the Filesys name ... to me that implies the use of both files and
directories
... I would still have to read the README to really know how the filesystem was
used for the queue, but that is fine .. I would have to do that with any name other
than
Queue::DirectoryBasedWithFilesAsQueueObjects
*gag* ;) ...
