Actually the P4:: namespace is also not entirely new as P4::Client already exists. VCS:: is a generic interface to SCM systems in the same way as DBD:: is a generic interface to SQL databases. P4:: is a module specific to Perforce. I will produce a VCS::P4 at some point too. > (Dumb question: Is PVCS the same as Perforce?) Aarrgh! Stop - it hurts! ;-). No it isn't - PCVS is a lame duck whilst Perforce is a soaring eagle! Tony
