Andreas,

Yes, I did look at Storable::dclone. Clone::clone was degined
to be called as a method, just add Clone to a package @ISA. It
also allows the user to specify a depth of copy, and it's also 
~2.5 times faster than dclone.

Michael and I, and others on occasion, have been discussing SAX module
naming for quite a while, mostly so we can present a pretty clear
picture when we're close to needing them.  That time is coming up with
SAX2.  SAX2 is not backwards compatible with SAX1 so this would be a
really good time to start using a SAX::* or SAX*:: namespace, to
indicate those modules that are SAX2 compliant, and without breaking
any SAX1 modules.

We have two basic differences of opinion that we'd like to get input
on.

A little background first.  SAX modules come in three basic flavors,
"drivers" which generate SAX events (parsers are drivers), "handlers"
which consume SAX events (writers and tree builders are handlers), and
"filters" which are both handlers and drivers.

The first question is: do we want to have one top-level namespace
called "SAX::" with multiple namespaces under it (SAX::Driver::*,
SAX::Handler::*, and SAX::Filter::*) and use three-level naming; or
have multiple top-level namespaces (SAXDriver::*, SAXHandler::*, and
SAXFilter::*) and use two-level namespaces.  For reference, Tim Bunce
mentioned during the last round that the module list maintainers
prefer two-level naming.

The second question is: should unique namespaces be used for
specialized types of drivers, handlers, or filters.  Specifically,
Parser (SAX::Parser::* or SAXParser::*), Writer, Builder [for trees],
etc.

Although there are four combinations of these, I've taken all the
existing SAX modules and shown a SAX::* without sub-types and a SAX*::
with sub-types for each module at
.

So please indicate your preference:

1)  SAX::*::* or  SAX*::*

2)  no-sub-types  or  sub-types

Thanks,

That's correct. What I realize now is that this makes responding with

I'll try to improve this a little:

Great. The document on PAUSE, CPAN/modules/04pause.html recently got a
paragraph added containing the sentence:

Generally a lack of response can be taken as acceptance of the
module name being proposed.

It was always CPAN's policy to accept per default rather than deny,
but it was not announced properly. Sorry for that.

IIRC the user gets a separate copy. I assume that is because they may
