That's what I meant and I think that's what Dago meant as well.
Sample:
pm_netdns - Net::DNS. Interface to the DNS resolver
I think we would be better served having it postpended, rather than
prepended.
Well, i guess it all depends whether people who may view truncated
descriptions of our packaged perl modules, would benefit more from
english description, or CPAN description.
I cant honestly say I know; we might actually need to do a user
survey of this.
Personally, I think that CPAN ::-:: notation is primarily useful only
when you are actually using CPAN. and if you are using CPAN, then you
have no need of our description anyway :-}
My typical usecase it that I know the module name and want to
find the matching package/catalog name to install it.
Currently the only possibility is to guess the path (like
/Net/DNS.pm for the above example) and search in "view
package files" page. So I think putting it first would
be best like in the example.-
Best regards
