in reply to Appropriate CPAN namespace for perl parser

You've written a parser, so it should go in the Parse:: namespace. I believe that Parse::Perl is being worked on right now, but that does seem like an appropriate namespace.

I have a couple of questions about your parser. Do you have tests for it? Do you have a distribution or documentation? I had a few things I wanted to throw at it which I was pretty sure would give me an idea of how robust it is, but all I could could find was a bunch of HTML representations of the code. It wouldn't be too hard to take those and strip out the line numbers, but it would be nice to have something to play with and give you feedback on.

Incidentally, in your regex lib, I noticed that you appear to define a package as having the symbols separated by a double colon, when a single quote mark is also allowed (for Perl4 compatibility - see the D'oh module). You also have the Unix and Mac newlines reversed.

Cheers,
