I don't think SQL::ExportDB is a good name for it. The first thing I think when I see that name is that it manipulates SQL statements as a language - exporting something to a database. It sounds more like a module that dumps a database's contents as SQL statements. Instead, if I understood your description correctly, it actually performs the SQL queries it gets against a database. Probably using DBI. Then the most fitting already existent TLN for it is probably DBIx::. As for the descriptive name, well, it exports a query result into a hash structure. Does it export the results of multiple queries? Is it inherent to the module that results go into a tied DBM hash (or multiple ones) or could it also just use plain hashes? And does it have a BerkeleyDB or would another DBM engine suffice? Unless I misinferred its purpose, I think something like DBIx::Results::HashView would be more appropriate. -- Regards, Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
