Yes, putting it under the Regexp:: namespace makes great sense, since that is actually what the module deals with. > Something under one of these name spaces makes sense to me: > > Regexp::Mutt If I just saw that module name without having read this thread, I don't think I'd understand what it was about. > Regexp::MuttPatterns > > Having "Patterns" in the name might repeat the idea of what RE's are, > though. Yes. In Perl 'pattern' and 'regexp' seem to be pretty much interchangable, so using the second doesn't add any meaning that wasn't provided by the first. How about combining your two suggestions and going for: Regexp::MuttStyle Smylers
