As a first step, I was considering adding a module to read GSHHS data
[a binary format for coastline data] and give it a name something like
Geo::GSHHS. More info at the site:

Ach, dont be.
The main reason I feel silly is that I just used Tie::IxHash yesterday.
I just never made the connection...

I thought it sounded more like a sorted array, but I'm prepared to be
persuaded otherwise. (Primarily because I've already released the module
to CPAN. ;)

Hmm, Jarkko has a nice set (err, no not those), but (and no not that

I'm not sure how CPAN testers would react to that result, but

If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough.
I submitted my request to register the namespace to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
through the pause.perl.org interface. Before I upload the module, I
figured I'd send a email here, to double check my logic.
Basically, here's my rationale from the namespace registration

1) Yes.

Sure is.

I don't think so. We already have a TLNS for process related
stuff - Proc::.
Okay, so this is Linux specific. That belongs in the name too.

I think it depends what you're doing with duplicates. I haven't looked
at your module, but if you are leaving duplicate values in there

The module's already uploaded, guys; the thread is dead.

There seems no plan because it is all plan.
First, I'd like to address people's concern over the format of the META
file. Module users and 99% of module authors have nothing to be concerned
about. Most folks shouldn't even know the thing exists.
Module::Build has been generating and using META.yml since nearly the
beginning.
Ok. So, I've gone over the spec and referenced this thread and my
archives of past meta discusions on module-authors, and I've come up
with a preliminary patch for Ken and anyone else interested. This is a
patch against http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec.html which:
