I'm going to release a first 2.0 module on CPAN. I'm wondering about the top level namespace naming.I did publish a spec already, but that was more for the organization of the namespace. I agree with you that we need some way to distinguish 2.0 from 1.0 modules. ModPerl2:: seems like a good idea. We just need to update the specs at http://perl.apache.org/products/apache-modules.html#Module_Naming_Conventions with whatever we choose.
I suggest the following spec:
*** Core 2.0 modules
Apache:: -- Apache API
APR:: -- APR API
ModPerl:: -- ModPerl API
(we have this already in place)
*** 3rd party modules
ModPerl:: -- Working with 1.0 and 2.0
ModPerl2:: -- Working only with 2.0
modules that work with 1.0 should work under 2.0 as-is under prefork mpm.
the '2' in ModPerl2 is very essential to hint CPAN users that this module is for mod_perl 2.0 only. In the future we might have ModPerl3::, which will work only with mod_perl 3.0. (who's the 3.0 pumpkin, btw? :)
So if that's cool with you guys, at some point I'm going to release on CPAN ModPerl2::Filter::Snoop or something like that.
We end up with CPAN having both Apache:: and ModPerl:: namespaces, but c'est la vie.
