Hello,
I'm a new CPAN contributor (BRADFITZ) and need help picking a name for a
module.
I'd like to upload the client library for memcached. (which is in use by
LiveJournal, Slashdot, soon Wikipedia, and others...)
http://www.danga.com/memcached/
Currently, I call the perl module "MemcachedClient", but I don't want nor
expect to keep that name.
Suggestions?
The people using this library have suggested:
IPC::Memcached
IPC::MemCached
Cache::MemCached
Cache::Memcached (* my preference)
It doesn't feel like IPC, though. No more than any other client/server app.
And it's not part of the Cache::Cache modules (though somebody could write
a Cache::Cache wrapper to use MemCached if they wanted that interface).
Yet... neither is Cache::Mmap.
Or, perhaps remove the "Client" and make it a new package in the Database
section a "Memcached"?
FreeBSD and Gentoo package it as a database, iirc.
Suggestions? If I don't hear anything (noted in "04pause.html"), I'll
upload it as "Cache::Memcached", but I'd feel better with an ack, as I'm a
newbie here.
The module (without customary CPAN wrappings) is at:
http://www.danga.com/memcached/dist/temp/MemCachedClient.pm
I need to remove the state inside the package, per the style guidelines.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
- Brad
