in reply to Data::Delta module proposal

From your description, it seems like something along the lines of Counter::Rolloverable would more accurately describe the module, but that name is awful. Perhaps SNMP::Counter::Delta? Or SNMP::Counter with a delta method? Another idea would be SNMP::DataType::Counter::Util. Not being versed in SNMP more than "what does SNMP stand for?", I would also ask if the term Counter is the correct term in the SNMP domain.

    The fact is that the library can be used in other environments different to those where data comes from a SNMP agent, that why I avoid using SNMP in the name proposal.

    For instance, imagine a access control system counting the number of visitors to a given building and storing it in a text file (for instance). You could use the library for easily calculating how many users per hour are accessing.
