    Thanks for the encouragement. I have a few modules on CPAN, but I'll have to figure out a few things first.

    Some questions for the crowd:

    • Are there any guidelines for creating CPAN scripts in the App:: space (as opposed to modules)?
    • Or, does anyone recommend specific App:: uploads to use as a good model?
    • Can anyone see any OS portability issues with my code? It works on unix-like platforms.
    • Any Perl version issues? I think strict output has been pretty consistent over the years.

      Instead of using qx(perl ...), you might want to use qx("$^X" ...), for the (rare, but confusing) case where perl and perl-5.22.0 are not the same executable and your script was executed with the latter.

      Other than that, I'm not aware of any guidelines for the App:: namespace and also don't know any good distributions to copy from.
