Re: Suggestion for module namespace assignment

I recently approved Math::Telephony on the modules list, but I don't think it's shown up on CPAN. That namespace seems good to me. Maybe Math::Telephony::ErlangB ?

"TrafficModeling" doesn't say anything about what sort of traffic you're dealing with, so I wouldn't use that as the top-level namespace.

I personally like eibwen's suggestion about an `Engineering::` root namespace, but I'm not in the position to do much more than expressing my opinion. I'll wait your (or others) answer to his suggestion for a while, then I'll happily divert the module into `Math::Telephony::ErlangB`. BTW, is an updated copy of the approved modules list available somewhere (AKA "where do you 'write' your approvals")? Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))') Don't fool yourself.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Engineering:: isn't a very good choice. You're making too much of an assumption about what people are doing. A bunch of modules together might solve an engineering problem, but they should also be general enough to be used for other things too. You can use the "Register Namespace" form on PAUSE to request a namespace approval. -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com>	[reply]
