I'm starting an OAuth 2.0 client library.
http://play-perl.org/quest/5127fd0be8e8478c0500002d
And I'm trying to figure out a name for the module.
I just read http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_namingmodules
. It says I should avoid using the word Simple in the module name.
However my imagination is not helping me, and using Simple is the only
thing I can come up with.
I'm thinking of Net::OAuth2::Simple::Client (since Net::OAuth2 is taken
(and it's taken Net::OAuth::Client as well)). I think that's not a
terrible choice, given that the module's interface will be simple to
use. What do you think?
Also it's highly unlikely that Net::OAuth2::Simple::Client will be used
by the Net::OAuth2 distribution in the future, but if that module's
author does decide to use that module name, is PAUSE then going to
resolve the conflict in my favor?
Finally I read
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlmodstyle.html#What%27s-in-a-name? and saw
there that I "should contact modu...@perl.org to ask them about [the]
module name" - however http://lists.perl.org/list/modules.html says the
modu...@perl.org list is closed. Perhaps someone of you would like to
fix perldoc perlmodstyle.
Thank you,
