Hi all,

Given the complete lack of any negative feedback on my previous message
(intending to CPANise some modules of mine), I've now gone ahead and
created the very first module; see

  http://search.cpan.org/~pevans/File-StatCache-0.01/

Before I go too much further, I'd appreciate hearing any comments anyone
has on it. In terms of the code, and in terms of how I've packaged it
up. I couldn't find much documentation on how to submit a collection of
.pm files, so I just tried taring up the directory and uploading it, and
that appeared to work. :)

Next on my list of plans is to include my read caching module, currently
called Common::FileCache; see

  http://www.leonerd.org.uk/code/perl/

My first question is whether it ought to go in the File-StatCache
distribution, or separately? I vaguely have plans for looking at
something like Linux::Inotify in the cache module, so the timeouts can
suddenly become very large, and the kernel will efficiently inform the
program whenever a file changes, rather than the module needing to be
checked. This would be of benefit to the read cache as much as the stat
cache.
