Re^2: Naming a module that extracts subsets of a Linux system

I like the Export verb. Strong parallels to exporting subs from a module, which is very much like exporting binaries from a system image.

Combined with Grandfather's 'Sys' observation, I'm liking Sys::Export::Linux or Sys::Exporter::Linux.

Hmm, for future proofing, it might be interesting to use a base/factory class like `Sys::Exporter` that then either automatically or manually selects the correct backend like `Sys::Exporter::Linux` and stuff. That way, it could also support cross-platform builds. `use Sys::Exporter; # Automatic detection/configuration my $exporter = Sys::Exporter->new(); # Prepare a cross-platform export my $exporter = Sys::Exporter->new( OS => 'FreeBSD', rootdir => '/mnt/freebsd', libtools => '/home/nerdvana/crossplatformldd', );` [download] I'm not specific about a name, but putting the OS as the last element of the name instead the first makes sense to me.

use Sys::Exporter;

# Automatic detection/configuration
my $exporter = Sys::Exporter->new();

# Prepare a cross-platform export
my $exporter = Sys::Exporter->new(
                        OS => 'FreeBSD',
                        rootdir => '/mnt/freebsd',
                        libtools => '/home/nerdvana/crossplatformldd',
               );
