This list also has this exact purpose, including discussing namespace. * Gordon Marler <gmar...@gmarler.com> [2015-07-09 14:40]: > I initially named it Devel::libdtrace, which in hindsight seems > completely wrong, since it's not meant to be used to debug Perl > itself. Hooray, someone else who notices the thing that bugs me about 99% of the stuff in Devel:: on CPAN! It may be unfortunate that perl’s -d switch reserves a name as broad as “Devel” for itself, but it is what it is. Yet 99% of modules in Devel:: have nothing to do with the -d switch, they just use the namespace as a generic term. There is no way to change any of this now, but it’s still irritating. > DTrace::Consumer seems nice and descriptive, but may be too far up in > the name hierarchy. > > Any other suggestions? Thanks for any feedback. The only other DTrace-related stuff on CPAN is in Devel:: which is out of the question. Personally I wouldn’t mind DTrace::Consumer… or so I thought. But if I’m honest I would mind it just a little. So I went looking for stuff like strace- and ptrace-related modules, and that did turn up another alternative: those are split between Devel:: (again) and Sys::. Oh right, d’oh. That seems like a pretty good choice. How does Sys::DTrace::Consumer sound? Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
