Re: Re: (crazyinsomniac: oh i'm excited) Re: new XML module

Joke or no joke, this should NOT be in CPAN, this should NOT be work load for testers. I wonder why this module (the namespace for it) was not rejected - can any fool add his own favourite Foo::Bar::Broken?

Now, beginners will think this module is real, and try to use it. That means a waste of development time and it's a very bad name for Perl and the CPAN.

Maybe if it was named Acme::XML::Simpler, or XML::Simpleminded, maybe I could laugh.

I think we are saying the same thing. As to whether any fool can add his own Foo::Bar::Broken, yes they can.
