By the looks of it, your module does almost everything mine does  
and much more. The only thing it seems to be lacking is a handy way  
to turn the output of as_string() back into an object, which is  
something I needed for dealing with user inputted data, and  
potentially a function to validate such a string too. Would you be  
interested in me writing a patch for something like that?


Yes please :)

Yeah, there's no tree-browsing capability on CPAN.  I wish there was.


Take a look at Laurent Dami's Pod::POM::Web application.  it's for  
locally-installed modules rather than all of CPAN, but it does do a  
nice tree layout.

I've already written the bulk of the module and a series of tests and

How does it intersect with

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Set-IntSpan/

and

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Set-IntSpan-Fast/

?

Damn, I must have missed Set::IntSpan::Fast somehow when I was looking 
around for a module that did what I wanted.
