RE: please help me name a module

I think Car::Tesla:: ... is TRT here. Vehicle is nice and general, but I wouldn't expect to share a namespace with stuff for working with my pushbike speedo. Car:: is pretty clear and universal. Internet-of-Things is an amusing byline for journos, but doesn't actually mean anything (or at

Functionally, stat(_) avoids actually doing a second stat. Of course, your gripe may be aesthetic, which this won't help. -Original Message- From: Ovid [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 11:52 AM To: module-authors@perl.org Subject: Re: Module name - smoke testing

Indeed, the example seems to contradict the text: The behaviour shown is entirely predictable. I'd also argue that it's desirable, although I guess that it's subjective. -Original Message- From: imacat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 11:01 AM To: Perl Module

RE: New module: CGI::Tooltip

2004-06-17 Thread Pearce, Martyn
I am not convinced of this. As I read it, the developer using CGI::Tooltip needs no Javascript knowledge; I think I would see CGI::Javascript::Tooltip and immediately exclude it as I have no knowledge of Javascript. It should be made clear in the docs of the module that javascript is required at

RE: defining 'constants' at run time
