Re: Module Name Proposal - Text::Report
D. Huggins [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have created a module that will allow you to create neatly formatted, text based reports that contain any number of tables of various dimensions replete with configurable optional titles, column headings, decorations, sorting, column alignment and more. Output can be a formatted report suitable for formal presentation and/or you can produce comma delimited data either by individual tables or the entire report. Looks pretty much like Data::Report on steroids. When I made Data::Report (and not Text::Report) I choose for that name since it can (in theory) handle arbitrary data, not just text. Would it be possible to merge these two? I that case I can hand you the name Data::Report. -- Johan

I like the compound name that reflects the two services the module provides: - preventing the dangerous string from escaping (getting out), and - forcing the string to be escaped (transformed). After seeing your lightning talk, I would also have to agree that the name is slightly misleading as-is. Perhaps something along the lines of String::AutoEscape or String::Protect? -- Matthew J.

String::Sandbox ??

No a sandbox is where you have a practice area where changes made have no lasting impact. For example ebay and paypal have sandbox areas where you can experiment with applications that use those services without actually buying anything. This is more of a quarantine.

Yes but both cases are a virtual container for code to run in, which is not the same thing as we're talking about here.

When I made Data::Report (and not Text::Report) I choose for that name since it can (in theory) handle arbitrary data, not just text. I do like the idea of Data:: as opposed to Text:: It does seem to fit better. When I look specifically at, say Text::Format or Text::SimpleTemplate, I see more text manipulation processes while I see Report.pm (yours mine) as more of a data transformation process. Would it be possible to merge these two? In that case I can hand you the name Data::Report. I like the framework of your Data::Report. I have considered adding capabilities for html xml output. A base class/plugin model would fit the bill for these additions. At this moment my vision of *how* the two products would merge is vague. Suggestions (from anyone) would be welcome. The only hesitation that I would have regarding a merge would be the development time. I know that it might seem a little silly, but I have been diligently working on soliciting some new customers for contract coding projects and would really like to add at least one CPAN credit to my CV sooner rather than later and none of my other libraries are quite ready for PAUSE yet.
