Awesome. Please!

How sure are you that that's what your customers will be looking for when
they're going to look for a module?

Sort of wonder if Net::Internap::XIPCloud might be better and then make
sure you've got OpenStack in the description in the =head1 NAME section.

Or if the XIPCloud stuff is using standard protocols,
Net::OpenStack::Something and mention the Internap part in NAME.

Net::XIPCloud still seems fairly reasonable to me btw - just wondering if
a more verbose name would be more findable.

Namespace question

Aloha,

I plan to contribute a perl module for interacting with Internap's (
www.internap.com) new OpenStack-based storage architecture.

My intent is to name the module Net::XIPCloud after the Internap product
name.

Sane?

Namespace question

2003-01-27 Thread M Hawkins

Hi,
I am writing a module to interface to the IBM LoadLeveler software. 
LoadLeveler is used for "dynamic workload management" on large AIX servers 
and MPP systems, very basically it is a batch scheduling system.

I would like a namespace of LoadLeveler, is this appropriate ?


Thanks for your time


Mike

Camera would be fine, but not Webcam since you do not necessarily
need to use it that way.

Someone on IRC suggested something in that direction as well. The big
question here is, what sub-category? Device::Camera:: ? Device::Webcam:: ?
Ofcourse it's a parallel device (well mine is anyway), so
Device::ParallelPort::Camera:: etc would also apply more or less.

I'm open for ideas and have no problem with changing names if required
(well, the module, not my own name ofcourse).

To reply to that i vs R thing, yes indeed, altho I had some discussions on
IRC and in CB about it prior to starting development :) and the time it
took from start to current R wasn't that long.

I don't either, much, except to wonder if there's a typo - QuikCam vs QuickCam.

But I wonder whether Device:: would end up becoming a bit of a mess
unless we consistently add more sub-categories.

So far we have Device::ParallelPort::*, Device::ISDN::*, Device::Modem::*.
I think we should continue in that direction.

Namespace question for caching autoloader

2002-03-03 Thread Tassilo von Parseval

Hi everyone,

I already sent this message as a posting to clpm.modules but thought
here might also be the right place to ask:

I am currently writing on a little module implementing a cached
autoloading of methods as described by Mark Jason Dominus in

http://plover.perl.com/yak/tricks/slide073.html

Short example:

A little class:

package Test;

use base qw(Autoloader::Cache);
use Autoloader::Cache 
method1 => q{ 
sub { 
my ($self, $arg) = @_;
$self->{arg} = $arg;
}},
method2 => q{
sub {
return shift->{arg};
}};

sub new { bless { }, shift }

Program instantiating this class:

package main;

use Test;

my $obj = new Test;

# dynamically created via Autoloader::Cache::AUTOLOAD
# method is compiled and diddled into the caller's namespace
$obj->method1("argument");
print $obj->method2;

# second call to a method already previously called:
# quicker since no longer the need for the autoloader
print $obj->method2;


The above also works with an arbitrary number of classes inheriting from
this module, methods and classes aren't mixed up due to a mapping
between methods and classes inside Autoloader::Cache.

Now the question for the namespace: As it can be seen, I have named it
Autoloader::Cache as for yet. Is this appropriate? My main concern is
whether I can just put a module under the top-level namespace of
Autoloader since there is actually only one module of that name so I am
not even sure whether that's a valid top-level namespace.

namespace question

2002-01-10 Thread David Ferrance




Hi all,
 
I have a module I would like to prepare for 
inclusion in CPAN.  I've been struggling
for a while about what to call it and would like 
some feedback.  I guess the best way
to do it is to tell you the name and what it does, 
sort of a pre-namespace-registration.
 
The best name I've come up for it is 
Data::Grouper.
 
This is a module I developed for use with 
HTML::Template, although it looks like
it will work nicely with Template toolkit and 
Text::Template.  Basically, it takes
data, typically from a DBI source although this is 
a loose coupling, and does two
things:
 
1.  Creates an array ref / hash ref nested 
structure, arbitrarily deep, with breaks
 on whatever columns you 
need breaks on
2.  Can compute aggregate functions, at every 
break level, of the data
 
It has some other nifty features but that's the 
basics.  This makes it much easier
to create certain types of web pages summarizing 
and grouping data at multiple levels.
 
The only thing similar I've found is 
Data::Reporter.  It has a concept of breaks, but takes
a different approach to output.  This module 
is really meant to work with DBI and a 
templating module.
 
Any comments on the name?  Am I on the right 
track?  I want to start cleaning it up
for distribution but I'm going to wait until I'm 
reasonably sure what the name will
ultimately be.
 
Thanks,
David Ferrance

CPAN and namespace question

2001-12-20 Thread Norbert Hartl

Howdy,

I've written a module and I don't know if it is worth
putting it in CPAN and what namespace to use.

OK, I bought a Card from Conrad (German electronic stuff
dealer) which has 8 Relais on it to control electronic
circuits. It is connected to the serial port.

So I wrote a Module which utilizes Device::SerialPort
to control the card(s).

Looking at the CPAn module list I don't have an glue
about what namespace to use. It is indeed a kind of
a hardware driver. It is also a device.
In the cpan module list all the modules look very
generic. Where to put a module for only one specific
need?

Before I will register at PAUSE I would like to hear
some opinions.

Please reply to my email address as I'm not subscribed
to the module list.

thanks in advance,

Norbert




module namespace question

2001-10-28 Thread Steven Devijver



Dear,
 
I'm currently working on a set of Perl modules that 
interface with a relational database model for the storage and retrieval of XML 
files. These modules include a broker that handles all database access, modules 
for XML entities (Document, Element, Attribute, ...) and a SAXDriver module to 
write files to the database. Currently I am using the namspace XML::DB. All 
modules reside under this namespace. The most important modules 
are:
 
XML::DB::Broker
XML::DB::Document
XML::DB::Node
XML::DB::Element
XML::DB::Attribute
XML::DB::Comment
XML::DB::SAXHandler
 
The project is far from complete so the module list 
can and probably will change over time. Do you approve of my namespace choice or 
do you have a suggestion for another one?
 
Kind regards
 
Steven Devijver

I'd recommend Weather::VantagePro, actually.  The most interesting thing
about the module is that it does weather stuff, not that it uses a
specific device.

I've written some perl code to 
interface to a Davis Vantage Pro weather station. I'd like to repackage it as a 
CPAN module with a proposed namespace of:
 
Device::VantagePro
 
The methods in this module will 


  Receive data from the 
  datalogger (EEPROM device that stores data from the weather station until it 
  is ready to be offloaded to the computer)
  Receive live data directly 
  from the weather station
  Set the weather station's 
  clock
  Set and clear 
  alarms
  Turn the backlighting on and 
  off (what the heck, it's easy)

Namespace question

2001-03-04 Thread Douglas Sparling

When I first registered as a developer I noted that I would be working on
modules that could be used for various instrument building calculations -
fret calculations, string gauge/diameter
calculations, just intonation, numerical calculations of flute impedences
and standing waves, length/bore calculations, note/frequecncy conversions
and wavelength/frequency conversions, as well as misc music/physics
calculations.

The name spaces I requested were:

Lutherie::
::FretCalc   cdpf  Calculate stringed instrument fret locations

Sound::
::Wavelength cdpf Frequency/Wavelength conversions

The question is, as most of these modules will be related, I wonder if I
should put them in one top level namespace? Lutherie is specific to stringed
instruments (plus, I'll be doing other Lutherie specific calculations
besides fret placement), so maybe MusicMaker::Lutherie, MusicMaker::FretCalc
or something of the sort would be better. In any case, none of the current
top level namespaces seem to fit these modules. I'd like to get my first
module up soon (currently Lutherie::FretCalc) and I'm open to suggestions
before doing so.

Thanks,
