Re: RFC. Distributed::Run module (idea & namespace)

While I generally agree with Zaxo that giving advice regarding namespace choice is questionable until we know more about the module, I think the Parallel:: hierarchy should be what you're aiming for. You should not be using a new top level namespace unless modules@perl.org thinks it's okay. (And if they don't react, keep bothering them until the request tracker transition is complete. Whenever that will be.)

I disagree on the name. Parallel::* to me suggests running several similar processes on the same machine. That is not the goal here. <P<But I agree that the OP should make it run first, and demonstrate it can really work as he describes here, cross-platform and all.	[reply]

I can see your point. Perhaps Parallel:: isn't good after all. I think this is clearly a case to be judged by the modules list. There are some people on it that know CPAN and its conventions extremely well and far beyond what I could judge.	[reply]
