Could this probably be moved to Lingua::SE::PersonNr? The No::PersonNr predates the introduction of the Lingua:: namespace. It is no viable option to continue with two-letter top level namespaces being country codes because there are already several two-letter top level namespaces that have a different meaning. When we realized this, the namespace Lingua was introduced and is used for all new modules since then. -- andreas
