A couple of other monks and I are working on a number of PerlMonks oriented applications. The first of these is PMEdit and a Inbox Message managing facility is in the pipeline. (Don't hold your breath, it's a long pipe.)
Our intention is to release the scripts and accompanying modules on CPAN, probably in a PerlMonks name space. The question is, how do we organise the modules and scripts? We anticipate a number of modules shared between the various scripts and a few modules used by individual scripts. So, assume we have the following files (not the actual names btw!) involved in providing two different, but related, applications:
- renderer.pm - rendering module common to both scripts
- message.pm - message handler used by message managing script
- config.pm - configuration file for the editor script
- edit.pl - the editor
- msg.pl - the message manager
Assuming PerlMonks is the root directory, where should the other files live? Note that these are representative files only. In practice there are likely to be further files in each category and a few test files as well.
