It would be much nicer if it was readable as a nntp or at least
a mailing list; I've always found http-based discussion boardss
awkward to navigate and difficult to figure out what I have and
haven't read. Wonder why this hasn't been done?

So I think a good name might be JavaScript::Tooltip::HTML.
I put in another vote for this.

If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough.

At this point the module is HTML specific.
That's why the suggestion includes a ::HTML specifier.
The javascript library that we're using only works in browsers
as far as we know,
Yes, but even if it might not be possible to use *this*

Seems like a really good example of a module that could benifit
from meta data, and multi-category placement. If it weren't for
existing categories, and still needed a category structure, I'd
personally think something like the

Obviously, the Sub:: prefix doesn't provide unambiguous context
information. (If I'd written a thread related module, I guess,
there would be no discussion about Thread::Suspension.)
How about another prefix (avoiding a new top level)?

HTML::DragDrop::Javascript
HTML::DragAndDrop::Javascript
Is there a way to implement Drag and Drop with HTML /without/
using JavaScript? I suspect not. Thus, I think it could be
appropriate to drop 'Javascript' from the name
I'm
* Mark Stosberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-06-24 17:11]:
I can't think of how drag'n'drop could be implemented without
JavaScript.
Not possible.
Tooltips are, because using CSS you can define reactions to
hovering the mouse over something.
But you can't define reactions to clicks.

Also, I'm 90% sure there's no other method (besides JavaScript)
to implement DD. If some guy down the road manages to do it
in VBScript, he can always register
Html::DragAndDrop::VBScript.
It can certainly be done in VBScript. Anything

I've seen pod2usage() and this would work, but most of these
scripts have some defaults set for variables that can be
changed with the GetOptions flags and I'd like to show these
defaults at least in the help message.

Right now I'm leaning towards either keeping WWW::Map or going with
WWW::MapService. I think the former is actually reasonably clear given
the WWW namespace, which is all about interacting with web stuff, not
generating HTML or anything like

Hi Aristotle,
My module differs from DateTime::Duration because it is not
dealing with dates. It does not try to foresee which is a
future of past date based in a bunch of seconds.
It just provide a means to calculate a time quantity
* Dave Rolsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-07-14 03:25]:
Ah, so you reinvented DateTime::Format::Duration.
Actually, I think he reinvented Time::Seconds, which is part of
the Time::Piece distro.
Well, both, I guess. Goes to show how many, *many* people have
written this sort of thing before in

Some of them _are_ registered, but that document you're
referring to hasn't been regenerated since 2002/08/27! I wish
the CPAN folks would just remove it if it won't be generated
regularly.
Does anyone else here think that the list should

Does anyone else here think that the list should probably
just be done away with entirely?
Given the fact that most authors seem to not register their
stuff, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list is slow as heck, and that the

It would be interesting to calculate the importance of a
module by how many other modules link to it, either via a use
statement or by reference in the POD, much like Google does
with Web page links.
I was thinking the same thing, and I
