sherzodR has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have put together a module, for which I need someone to recommend me a proper namespace. It's not soon before I hear from modules(AT)perl.org.

It's a framework for Programming Persistent Objects in Perl.

You can read more about the library, as well as get to try it out at http://author.handalak.com/archives/062003/000168.html.

It's current name is "Class::Struct::Persistent".

Thanks for any insights.

    Heard of SPOPS [ * * ] ?
    How is your module better/different than SPOPS?

    Class::Struct:: is a bad namespace for your module (your module is not a subclass of Class::Struct now is it).
    BTW, i'd like to suggest "Class::OP -- OP is for Object Persistence".

      Howdy!

      (your module is not a subclass of Class::Struct now is it)

      Quibble: that is not quite the right formulation. It is not necessary for a hypothetical Class::Struct::Persistent to be a subclass of Class::Struct, although one would expect the functionality to be some sort of refinement of it. Subclass would only apply in the broad sense, not the specific, object-inheritance sense.

      ...now, that is not to say that Class::Struct::Persistent is the best name, but that's why this thread is here...

      yours,
      Michael
