(Of course, namespaces aren't really hierarchical, but it's a nice illusion.)

11 Aug 2006 15:57:42 -0700, Andrew Hammond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I need to write a perl module which will parse a .pgpass file into a reasonable data-structure in memory.

Is there any precedent for perl modules intended to support postgresql administration? If not, I suggest PostgreSQL::pgpass PostgreSQL sounds like a logical choice. However CPAN - which has product-specific namespaces such as DB2, MySQL, Msql and Oracle, has "Postgres" rather than "PostgreSQL" (though there are only two modules in it, one of which dates from 1998, see http://cpan.org/modules/by-module/Postgres/ ).

[HACKERS] perl namespace for postgres specific modules?
I need to write a perl module which will parse a .pgpass file into a reasonable data-structure in memory. I may extend it later to go in the other direction (given a populated datastructure, write a .pgpass). The first question that came to mind is what namespace should I put this under? Is there any precedent for perl modules intended to support postgresql administration? If not, I suggest PostgreSQL::pgpass Thoughts?
