I really don't see the value of adding this sort of thing to CPAN. If code's going to go on CPAN as it's own distribution then I think it should be properly documented and so on. If a distribution needs a module then either the module should be released to CPAN as a proper distribution or the module should be included as part of the relevant distribution. And if you're including the code in several CPAN modules then shouldn't the code be up to standard for general use? Just because you can't see anyone wanting to use it doesn't mean it shouldn't be documented. Anyone using one of those CPAN modules shouldn't have to ferret around in source code to realise what your convience methods are there for. cheers Struan
