Re: mship.pm

Ok, I've waited several hours for somebody else to comment first. But, alas, no takers.

I'm sure it was perfectly obvious to you why you've created a module to do whatever it is this does, but, it would have been nice to hear your story. And even now that I've spent the time to read through it and attempt to figure out what it does, I'm still clueless as to what "mship" means or stands for.

For others who don't want to spend time reading the code, my understanding of it is to

A) attempt a connection to a server/port, returning various information including whether the connection succeeded (up) or failed (down)
B) and includes an easy way to get the status of said connection.

I further assume this is a portion for some sort of server monitoring utility...

I'm still clueless as to what "mship" means or stands for. I couldn't think of a name for it and I just happened to be listening to George Clinton, Mothership Connection. Im lazy, so Mothership turned into mship. I further assume this is a portion for some sort of server monitoring utility... Yes - its part of a server monitoring utility...

So, Ted, you've received lots of feedback on how to improve the code, yet you're thus far silent in both threads as to whether you've accepted the feedback, and if you have accepted the comments, you should probably update the original "snippet" above... The Critical comments made thus far are, in this case, not personal attacks. Silence from you makes it seem like you're not interested in the feedback you've received. Simply posting random code without a story as to what the code does, and why someone else might find it valuable means you've relagated such code to the bottom of the dustbin of snippets. You cared enough to post it originally, don't let a few critical comments make you abandon your case, fix it, make it better, make it usable to others, and state why you think it should be used by others. -Scott	[reply]
