Okay, it seems like Barcode is the best namespace for it. As Bill says, the module is essentially OCR for barcodes, so if there were a good space for OCR-related modules it might fit there, but there doesn't seem to be one. I've thought about Barcode::Reader, but that could give people the

Hi Keith: I have to say, I am pleased that people are working on enriching CPAN's offerings. Currently it does lack Barcode handling support, from what I can tell. I would be totally behind a project that would bring everything under a consistent Barcode:: interface - that is, the
