Seek Namespace Recommendation for meeting-scheduling modules

For several months I have been working on a set of modules and associated scripts designed to provide a simple, all-Perl solution to what might be described as the "classroom scheduling problem." That is, given lists of (a) classrooms or meeting rooms, (b) instructors or meeting leaders and (c) ti

Releases vs Registered Modules

Can anyone clarify for me the distinction found on search.cpan.org Authors pages between 'Releases' and 'Registered Modules'? See, e.g., http://search.cpan.org/author/DCONWAY/ or http://search.cpan.org/author/MSCHWERN/ where some, but not all, of Conway's and Schwern's modules are listed as Regist

ANNOUNCE: List-Compare-0.16

A new version of Perl module List::Compare, v0.16, has been uploaded to CPAN. In earlier versions, when comparing two lists for relationships such as union, intersection, etc., List::Compare always returned an array holding that union, intersection, etc. @union = $lc->get_union(); In this ver

What Constitutes a Good Test?

I am preparing a module for distribution, including distribution on CPAN. Having done this once before, I know _how_ to write a test suite using standard Perl test modules. However, I'm still unclear as to what constitutes a _good_ test. Suppose that I have a package that looks like this: my $en

What search.cpan.org & PAUSE produce (Fork from: what to do with dead camels?)

May I begin a separate thread for a line of discussion coming up under the dead camels? The discussion suggests we should also look at (1) what search.cpan.org comes up with in searching for modules; and (2) what links PAUSE builds when it extracts POD from an uploaded module. I'm going to presen

MANIFEST.SKIP

In a number of recent distributions I've seen a manifest entry for a file called 'MANIFEST.SKIP'. Upon examination, such files look like this one from the latest Module::CPANTS by Leon Brocard: _build Build$ blib ~$ \.bak$ ^MANIFEST\.SKIP$ CVS ^Makefile$ ^MakeMa
