If the code is not to be used by others, may be you shouldn't upload it to CPAN at all?!
If it's a piece of code used by a re-usable module of yours, then it should be put under that module's namespace, instead of putting it under a non-related namespace. -- sherzod : -----Original Message----- : From: Fergal Daly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 17:20 : To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Subject: Author's namespace : : : Is there, or should there be a namespace for each author? : Somewhere I can put : modules that I don't consider worth releasing but that I : do use in some of my : released modules?
