Re: Moose based Perl library for MARC records

Hi, 2010/11/11 Frédéric DEMIANS f.demi...@tamil.fr: Thanks all for your suggestions. I have to choose another name for sure. Marc::Moose seems to be a reasonable choice. But I'm very tempted by a shorter option: MarcX, MarcX::Record, MarcX::Parser, MarcX::Reader::Isis, etc. Any objection?

Re: Moose based Perl library for MARC records

I think we should revisit Biblio::. Yes, I know MARC isn't used only for bibliographic data, but it's sure as hell not used to speak of outside the library/museum world. 'Biblio' might not be perfect, but it's certainly not misleading in any meanigful way. On 11/11/10 10:23 AM, Galen Charlton

Re: Moose based Perl library for MARC records

I was going to express the same concern. Keeping everything under MARC:: may also make it a tiny bit easier to find the existing alternatives for, well, parsing MARC records. I would +1 MARC::Moose. I understand this point. I don't like the idea of using 'Moose' in the name of object using

Re: Moose based Perl library for MARC records

Hello, butting in an interesting discussion ... Would Org::Demians::MARC::Record ( or Tamil::MARC::Record ) be very wrong, unless you aim to provide the ultimate collection of MARC modules that would make all the others obsolete ? Moose is great and I love it, but it's not forever ... in a few

Re: Moose based Perl library for MARC records

CPAN stores distributions under author subdirectories. But the module namespace is done separately and reflects the function of the module. In the case of the MARC:: namespace, I think Ed Summers is the only one who has remained involved since the beginning (back in the 1990's). Had we used names

WIP stuff about MARC manipulation

hello again, As i wrote my last mail, guys at biblibre really would like to write tools to ease the programmer in charge of migration process. MARC::Template is something we're very happy about but we have more tools that aren't as polished. But we already successfully use them so we share them
