I've been refactoring an intranet application to use Class::DBI, and one of
the things that's been bothering me has been the inconsistant perl modules
for different data types (e.g. dates/times, currancy, intervals, ethernet
addresses, et al).
I'm going to be creating a set of wrapper classes that presents a common
interface to some of the CPAN modules that supports the above datatypes and
just does the Right Thing. Instead of placing these modules in my
project's namespace, never again to see the light of day, I was thinking of
putting this on CPAN.
I wasn't exactly sure where this should go in the namespace however. I was
thinking it might belong under Class::DBI, but this ideally wouldn't be
specific to Class::DBI. I was also thinking about putting this in P5EE, but
that doesn't seem right somehow; the scope of P5EE is too much for me to
focus on. With this in mind, before I go too far on my modules, I have the
following questions:
a) Has anyone done this already?
b) Anyone think differently than I, that this should go in a namespace other
than P5EE or Class::DBI? (e.g. DataType::Interval,
DataType::Network::IPAddress, DataType::Timestamp)

OK, so ten out of ten for style, but minus several million
for good thinking, yeah?
