More Monastic Wisdom is rubbing off on me...I am uploading (git committing?) AI::Embedding following nudges from hippo and others, but especially GrandFather in Re^3: What is ignore.txt

Questions as usual...

1 - Is there a convention I should be using for naming Perl repositories?
I have looked at others and some start p5-... - I assume that was to distinguish them from Perl 4 but is that a concern now? Others use perl-... and others just the name of the module. Is there a preferred way to do it that I should follow?

2 - Am I right that GitHub and CPAN are not connected?
There is no means for changes within GitHub to be reflected on CPAN other than by uploading a tarball in the usual way. GitHub is "just" (hardly "just" but I hope you understand!) a place to store, collaborate and develop code. CPAN is the repository where it gets installed to.

3 - Should I have different GitHub accounts for different purposes?
In time I will be releasing a JavaScript library for one of my businesses (On Radar) to allow web developers to interact with our CRM product. If this ends up on GitHub does it need a different account? If so, is it because it is for the business or because it is in a different language?

I understand the value but also want to do it right. I've had a few people contact me with suggestions for Business::Stripe::WebCheckout, some have sent useful code snippets that have been included or will be included in a later release. Surprising as I didn't really think anyone would find it useful! If it were on GitHub like it will be, they could have done a pull request and I wouldn't have to insert their code...just approve the PR and build a new release periodically :)
