Hi,

as necessary as this step is, it opens up a new task that I haven't
though of before.

First all the new POD files should appear in a sensible manner on
L<http://perlcabal.org/syn/>, and second there should be good and easy
way to smartlink to these new documents (for example with
L<S32/Scalar/=item stuff>).

I'd prefer those to have a filename that corresponds the type name, ie
Num.pod and Str.pod - any objections?

One objection. Numeric contains Bool, Num, Complex, and :Trig. Which should we call it? :).

Of course, an option would be to make 3 or 4 separate files, and that may be best in the long run. Or we could do S32-setting-library/Numeric/Bool.pod if we liked that better :).

My not-very-well-thought-out reason for calling it String is in case we wanted to put other string-related stuff in there that doesn't go on Str, but that's probably stupid, so I've no complaints about String.pod => Str.pod.

Also, if there's something special we need to do to rename files, it might be wise to hold off for a day or so, to see if we want to rename Tree to Plex, as is being discussed on another thread. If there are no objections from anyone, I'm happy to rename Tree to Plex.

        :)
