Good point. Any suggestions?

With this module it's possible to have 1 Conf frontend using one
of the provided backends: String, File, SQL, INI for now, but
later probably Win32::Registry, maybe Wx::Config.

I wasn't really concerned about namespaces when I wrote this.
I like modules with short names.

Anyway It would be:

   Config
   Config::String
   Config::File
   Config::SQL
   Config::INI

(...)

   Config::Win32::Registry
   Config::wxConfig

etc.

Sorry, Config is a core module (see perldoc Config). Look at other modules that do what you want:


Browse by catagory:
<http://search.cpan.org/modlist/Option_Parameter_Config_Processing>

Browse by module name:
<http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Config/>

Search for keywords:
<http://search.cpan.org/search?query=config>

Those are just examples, you may find more with different search keywords, etc.

There are a lot of modules out there that handle config "files". Research what is available. If possible use or enhance an existing module. If you really believe you have a unique module, the above research will help suggest an appropriate name.

I'm not trying to discourage you, but there is already a lot of repitition and "junk" on CPAN. It's an authors responsibility to do the research before tossing another module on the heap.

My suggestion for a name (if you find that your module offers something unique) would be Config::<something>, where <something> hints that it's a front end to multiple output formats, maybe Multi????
