  Various source code which we've found useful and reusable.  This

  Discussed:
  This particular module (Bundle::Installer) has been discussed on
  #perl on DALnet.  It was very well received.  It is also in very wide use
  in-house.

Bundle::Installer sounds like a strange name to me. How does it fit
with the description in the module list:

BundleiNamespace reserved for modules collections   ANDK

Could you describe your intentions with it a little?

  planned contribution: 

  CGI::Session module for persistent data storage in CGI.  It differs
  from CGI::Persistent in that it lets/makes the programmer select
  exactly what is stored, rather than automatically storing/restoring
  the CGI params, and it uses MLDBM, allowing storage of arbitrarily
  complex structures.

  Description:

  Name   DSLI  Description  Info
  -    -
  CGI::Session   cdpO  Persistent storage of complex data in CGIZED

  I have working code already, and will be soliciting comments on the
  newsgroups shortly when it's Beta-ready.

EAPPROACH! Don't wait until it is beta ready. Make sure you are not
reinventing the wheel. Especially, make sure you are not reinventing
Apache::Session which is less Apache-specific than it sounds.

  Note that Marc Hedlund had CGI::Session registered for the past five
  years; I've corresponded with him and he says he has no plans for it
  and that he's already emailed Andreas that this is so.

Yupp, that has been processed already.

[Mike Warwick mwarwick@pobox.com] Re: request to submit numtotext module

2000-05-20 Thread Andreas J. Koenig


Thank you for your consideration.  I was unaware of any separate attempts to
publish something of this nature.  For some reason, the line of discussion o
which you referred me and the modules in question never came up in my CPAN
searches.  In any case, I have reviewed the Lingua::EN::NumsToWords
solution, and while I find it less elegant than my own solution, I see no
need to further clutter this namespace at CPAN.  Best wishes!

 Hi,
 I've written a PERL module called numtotext.  Numtotext offers a pair of
 functions which return the English descriptive representation of any integer
 in the range B-10e18 to B+10e18.  The integer can be interpreted in
 either the ordinal or cardinal context.  I would like to make the module
 available at CPAN.  Below are the details.

RE: New userid request

2000-05-20 Thread Anthony Payne

 Bundle::Installer sounds like a strange name to me. How does it fit
 with the description in the module list:

 BundleiNamespace reserved for modules collections   ANDK

 Could you describe your intentions with it a little?


The system consists of four modules and an exectuable, whose current names
are:

Installer::Base - base class for package modules
Installer::Manifest - manifest object
Installer::Rule - simple object for handling "rules" (a rule here is
defined as a group of regexes which matches against a list of strings
Installer::Ruleset  - a simple object for handling a list of rules and
actions associated with those rules
rkit- executable perl script

Which is why I chose Bundle::Installer.  I guess I'm unclear what is meant
by "modules collections".  Since these modules are meant to be used only
with each other, perhaps they should they not be in the Bundle:: namespace?
The internal name that we use for this package is  simply 'rkit'.  Perhaps
App::Rkit would be better?  I'll defer to better judgement here.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this belongs in the modules section or not.
The modules included are primarily there to support the rkit executable and
are not extremely reuseable (I could see Manifest, Rule and Ruleset possibly
being reused, but definitely not Base).

What it boils down to is this: suggestions are 100% welcome.  It will
probably be a couple of weeks anyway before the legal department gives the
go ahead to upload it, so fire away.
