Re: Namespace: Samba::LDAP ?

I sort of wonder why you want to do this. I use these tools too, and I've never been particularly bothered that they are not on hosted on CPAN.

I suppose you've already done so, but it would be polite to let Idealx know of your plans. My main concern is that this could lead to a code fork. Have you had difficulty in getting patches accepted?

That issue aside, I would strongly recommend module-authors@perl.org as the best place for advice on module naming issues. It's low-volume and always interesting.

Hi grinder, I want to do this as I am halfway through writing an application called "SOSA - Samba and Open-xchange Simple Administrator" using Catalyst and I don't want to have to rely on the command line tools being installed, so I want to CPAN-ize them and have the modules installable from there. I have contacted Jerome from Idealx and John from Samba, whom I both know already. I am still waiting for a reply from Jerome, and so won't move forward until we have had a chat. I am also concerned about a code fork, but it might not happen anyway. I'll post to the list just now though. Thanks, Gavin. Walking the road to enlightenment...

Putting something on CPAN gets it tested by CPAN Testers, rated by all sorts of other people, findable by people using CPAN Search, reportable to CPAN RT, and so on. All of those things work together to improve modules and module quality. You should care that things are on CPAN. :) -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com> Subscribe to The Perl Review	[reply]

So does that mean I am heading the right way? Thanks. Walking the road to enlightenment... I found a penguin and a camel on the way..... Fancy a yourname@perl.me.uk? Just ask!!!	[reply]
