Thanks for the input/testing all. I've decided to hold off publishing this to CPAN for now (and let this thread die out), pending the name change for sure, and potentially a couple of other big changes which affect the name change.

First, I'm thinking perhaps it's best to change up the interface of the module such that it is 99% compatible with the interface of the pure perl Net::Server::* module heirarchy, and publishing it into that space as Net::Server::Linux. I don't think it would be so bad to intrude on that space without inheriting from the existing modules as long as I provide a nearly identical module interface to the user.

And since I currently only support TCP, but there's not a really "clean" way to put "TCP" in the name in that namespace, perhaps I should just go ahead and find an intelligent way to support UDP as well, so that the protocol-agnostic "Net::Server::Linux" can be a little more appropriate. (Or at the very least, document that future support for UDP is planned within this module)

So in all likelyhood, this will end up emerging as Net::Server::Linux with a heavily changed module interface and potentially UDP support sometime in the near future.

Once again, thanks for all the input, it's been very helpful.

And if you have a use for the existing incarnation of the module, feel free to use it as is for now - just beware that the name and the interface will change shortly.
