Clever of you to miss that I did get your point entirely. :) I agreed
with you which is why I made my example in the GetOpt space. I read an
article recently talking about not using strange acronyms in module names
and that's why I commented. I responded to your e-mail since I was trying
to build on what you had correctly pointed out! Sorry for not making that
clearer.
"RSE" just makes me think of some strange IBM acronym. VERA gives us
"Removable Storage Elements" and "Research and Systems Engineering" as
previous uses for RSE. Who could guess the difference between GetOpt::RSE
and GetOpt::JCL?

Programming is a Dark Art, and it will always be. The programmer is
fighting against the two most destructive forces in the universe:
entropy and human stupidity. They're not things you can always
overcome with a "methodology" or on a schedule.
