in reply to Uploading applications to CPAN ?

App

You can distribute applications as Perl distributions. Typically, those sorts of distributions go under the App namespace, like App::Ack, App::Cpan, and App::Prove. The namespace implies that its a ready-to-use program rather than a module.

I have no idea from the name what "App::Templer" does, or is for. But I don't know that I can come up with anything better for a name. I guess think in terms of searchability: What search terms are on-topic for your module, and likely to be used by someone seeking similar functionality?

    Unfortunately I suspect that the terms would be overly broad, and I'd not want to make a land-grab.

    Off the top of my head I'm thinking "extensible static-site generator", "markdown", "textile", "plugins", etc, etc.

      FWIW I did upload to App::Templer, after some rejigging of the internals. (Mostly updating to use Module::Pluggable, and cleaning up some of the internal organization.)

        No you didn't. You only uploaded the distribution name as App::Templer, but you used the Templer top-level namespace for everything.
