Re: Re: Good package name for Winamp module?

Winamp is not for audio anymore.

The Winamp namespace already exists, so he should reuse it, and not introduce yet another namespace.

Direct isn't very meaningful, and at least Win32 or Win32API signifies which platform it works on.

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

I agree that "Direct" isn't meaningful. However, Win32API would be nonsense once he uses XS (Yes, he'll still be using the Windows API. All modules on Win32 use the Windows API in some way or another). Win32 doesn't make much sense to me either, because WinAmp runs on Win32 only.	[reply]

Hmmm... I haven't tested my module with Winamp 3 so as far as I know this module is strictly audio. I know for sure that the window lookup will fail. Winamp 3 is a complete rewrite so I don't think the API calls are the same. -- Grant me the wisdom to shut my mouth when I don't know what I'm talking about.	[reply]
