Hi all, 1st post to list....
The idea of the module I am working on comes from Max Mind's Geoip
location module and the awstats log analysis package. My module does a
similar thing, it allows an ipaddress to be passed and provides location
info, but it is designed for use in an intranet (10.x.x.x) environment
where one subnet would usually correspond to one building, site, floor etc.
As a result, my module requires some code to generate the list of
locations against ipaddresses, this is a separate program.
At the moment, the perl runs as a stand alone program, I am still
looking at the process for doing it as a module. Module::Starter has
been suggested as a way to go, but as yet I haven't looked in to it in
any depth.
What I would like to achieve from this post is an idea for where in the
cpan hierarchy it should go.
I am not sure how an external config file fits with a perl module
though. Should a module be entirely self contained?
Regards,
Andrew Stringer
