Re: RFC: Name that Module

I would use something inside the Proc namespace... probably Proc::SwitchUser or Proc::SetUser.

BTW, It would also be nice to have functions like system_as_user, fork_as_user, open_pipe_as_user, open2_as_user and open3_as_user available from your module... I don't know if these are the best names, but you get the idea!

My only hesitation about using 'Proc' as the namespace is the association with the /proc filesystem on linux (and others). What does everyone think? Does 'Proc' mean 'process' or '/proc'? And reqarding system_as_user, fork_as_user, open_pipe_as_user, open2_as_user and open3_as_user etc... That is where this is eventually heading. The module containing fork_as_user and co would use Proc::SetUser or whatever the name turns out to be.	[reply]

Proc namespace is for process related modules. Take a look at the rest of the modules on the namespace and you will see that almost no one is related to the `/proc` file system.	[reply] [d/l]
