in reply to Win32 Network Adapter module naming

From my reading of your post I'm drawing 2 conclusions:

  1. This is only a getter - it retrieves data from the O/S but never makes changes to the system/NICs
  2. It is highly Windows specific and is never intended to be of any use on other OSes

If those both hold, I'd go for Win32::Net::Info. That's short and descriptive and with Win32 at the top it keeps the O/S wars from flaring up. JMHO.

    Your assumptions are correct - Windows only and it does not make changes (only gets current settings). I agree Win32:: should most likely be the top level - I like your suggestion. THANKS!
