in thread Requesting review of new distribution information

Regarding Git, get familiar with it.

Yes I know I need to...
Only today I jumped in on a bit of a CB discussion about GitLab and went asking the Great God Google for information about comparisons between GitLab and GitHub.

I intend to share the code for the Raspberry Pi Curtain Controller so that other people might be inspired and perhaps helped when they try something similar. A Git seems the ideal way to do this.

    For Perl code, there's no better place than the CPAN. Check out all of my Raspberry Pi related distributions here. All are prefixed with RPi-.

      Even for code that isn't a module and (probably) isn't very useful to anyone else as it stands?

      Besides, it is not all Perl code...the adaptor for Alexa that sits on AWS Lambda is written in Node.js heavily adapted from code I found in an Amazon tutorial but for an earlier version of Alexa Smart Home.

        Yes. Most dists are module-based, but not all. See PerlPowerTools for example.

        and (probably) isn't very useful to anyone else as it stands?

        That's more of a key point. While it would be better not to clutter up CPAN with code only you will ever use, could it instead be generalised in some way so as to make it worth sharing? It may even be of more use to you in the long run if it could be made more general.
