Errr, hi, long > time no p5p. "Hello again" :) Some comment: +it connected to the rest of the CPAN, you'll need to go to "Register +Namespace" on PAUSE. Once registered, your module will appear in the +by-module and by-category listings on CPAN. Only a very few of my modules are registered in that namespace. For instance, Math::BigInt::Pari is, while Math::BigInt::GMP is not. The reason is simple: It never worked. I think I sent at least GMP at least two times to the register namespace black hole, and it never happened. AFAIR there was only one guy (Hi Andreas :) working on the registrations, and only every two weeks on Sunday or something like that. So, two (honest) questions: * does it work better now, e.g. should I resub mit my module(s)? * What exactly is the registration good for? I mean, all my dozend or so modules work, and are "connected to the rest of CPAN" or whatever this means. I cannot remember when I used the by-module or by-category listings on CPAN - - I always just use "search.cpan.org" for whatever I need installing, and even if I look for a module that I don't want to reinvent, I just hit keywords into search.cpan.org until there is no tomorrow and I found something I can (ab)use. So, if the "register namespace" isn't too usefull and/or doesn't work fine, why burden new authors with it? Best wishes, Tels - -- Signed on Tue Aug 17 19:16:51 2004 with key 0x93B84C15.
