Searching doesn't have to be limited to the name of the module itself. Almost everything in CPAN has POD documentation, which could be parsed, or there could be extensions to Makefile.PL (or maybe META.yml files, for people that go in that direction). Modules can still have descriptive names even in a hierarchial namespace. In some cases, the names can be even more descriptive. -------------------- Christopher Josephes [EMAIL PROTECTED]
