Hi everyone,

I've now been registered on the PAUSE, and now am contemplating on the naming of what I've been working on.

One of the projects is essentially an integrated Internet Service Provider management system. It contains 9 modules, a full client record and ledger management system, a sales transaction system, client accounts/plans system all which backs to a database (SQLite & MySQL tested). It also has a web GUI front-end that overlays it all.

That project has additional features if other modules I have written are installed.

The primary external module is a RADIUS database management system. Its purpose is to allow easy management of all FreeRADIUS database tables. Particularly, it aggregates all of the accounting information, archives data, produces accounting reports for billing etc.

Currently, my naming is as such:

ISP::

ISP::RADIUS

ISP::Email

Given that all of these projects/modules are directly related to the operation of an ISP (with more in the works), I'm looking for feedback if this would warrant a new top-level namespace (ISP) on the CPAN, and how people generally feel about new top-level namespaces being requested.

Any and all feedback appreciated. Cheers!

Steve
