hi there, i'm working on a module to interface with music player daemon (mpd). i've released: - audio::mpd, a traditional oo interface - poe::component::client::mpd, a poe-aware interface
they're both under development. for each of them, i've defined an item class to map the items manipulated by mpd. there are 3 subclasses item::song, item::directory and item::playlist. note that: - those items are just a bunch of accessors, - those items do not retrieve their information themselves from a file or whatever my problem is that those classes are defined both: - in audio::mpd::item (with audio::mpd::item::* subclasses) - and poe::component::client::mpd::item (with pococm::item::* subclasses) and the code is the same, with only the package name differing. since code duplication is bad, and since i don't want to put a prereq relationship between the 2 modules (in either direction), i'm going to extract the item::* classes in their own module that's going to be prereq by the others. i haven't seen any such thing on cpan, it's always tied to a format (mp3, or ogg vorbis, or...) and meant to extract meta-information from a file. so here's my question: how should i name this new module? - audio::item => isn't it too vague? - audio::mpditem => isn't it too specific? (would it be used by others?) - other? thanks for your help, jérôme -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
