1) Well, for one, I am not sure what the Larry Wall post has to do with it because I didn't say in the post that he called it enterprise edition did I?
2) While I respect Nathan, I don't think one person calling it something makes it a reason for it to be called that. 3) So I take it we are all against Enterprise Edition. But Enterprise Extension vs Enterprise Environment is a different matter. Any truth be told I don't care either way. But I think Enterprise Environment feels more like that this is. But I think your particular interest in the P5EE namespace being used for all things P5EE is definately more in line with the extension side. I think this initiative is more than the p5EE extension set anyway. I do think a lot of it is documenting what exists out there now to write enterprise apps (eg POE, various XML utilities, etc) At 11:32 PM 11/15/2001, Stephen Adkins wrote: >At 03:22 PM 11/15/2001 +0100, Gerald Richter wrote: > >What is P5EE ?
