Re: Which namespace for a build system?

I agree with you. A build system is no more than a dependency system with some fluff around. The fluff, in this case, is 10% of the code. Say I put those 10% under PBS as it is an application. I still have a problem finding out where to put the 90% left because some smart guy decided that Devel

Hi, What about DB_File::Clean instead? Either you have a function to which you can give diffrent types of cleaning operations or you may have multiple modules to do the different operations. As an example (certainly incorrect as I don't have the slightess clue of what you can clean in a DB file),

Where do people learn how to document a module?

Hi, It seems to me that few documents describe what to put in a documentation or in which form. I haven't found any inteligent or complete description on CPAN. There are a few heros that wrote some tips but looking at the new modules coming into CPAN. I'd say we are lacking one standard document.

My two modest cents, It seems to me that we'll never find __THE__ perfect name. The proposed names all have something right. Isn't the problem somewhere else? Why can't we name the same module differently? or (this might exist already) where do we put description strings for the module (like at
