in reply to Excel::Template - request for comment


People often post pre-releases of modules for comment and invariably the only comment is "I don't like the name".*

Anyway, I don't like the name. When I first wrote Spreadsheet::WriteExcel I wanted to call it Excel::Writer but there was a Spreadsheet namespace in CPAN so I felt obliged to use that. I think that you could have followed suite.

Other than that I think that it is a useful module.

Update: In retrospect I see that the name is following the example of HTML::Template.
