Totally and utterly awesome. Thank-you. ;) Thank you for the kind words :) I am not sure I deserve them fully yet, as even if the beggining has been laid, DhMakePerl is still in great need of slicing. > However if I can be so bold as to make a small suggestion, would you > consider calling the module App::DhMakePerl or Debian::DhMakePerl? > App::DhMakePerl in particular would follow existing naming conventions for > modules which primarily contain application code. That was the initial idea. I dropped it for if for a trivial/lazy/pragmatic reason -- saving seven keystrokes ( shift a p p shift : : ) I forsee there will me several classes under DhMakePerl namespace, so the savings seem non-trivial. I thought about shortening 'DhMakePerl' too, but abandoned the idea because "dh make perl" is engraved very deep im my mind :) As Brian said, there is no real chance of clashes in the namespace. As for "polluting" it, I think this is not very relevant in this case. Thing is, I don't see any real value in including dh-make-perl in CPAN. The program is only useful on a Debian system, and since it is primarily developed by Debian developers, distributing it as a .deb makes more sense to both its developers and its users. This is how *I* see it at least. Ah, I also saw that Padre has no App:: so I thought it can't be that bad ommission. > > though, so your testing (and fixing) is much appreciated.
