I've recently registered at CPAN and was wondering if I could get some feedback on what would be the appropriate namespace to place my first contribution. I mailed modules(at)perl.org but haven't heard anything yet.

The module contains a grep-like function findone for finding elements in @arrays.

my @giant_array = (defined elsewhere);
while ( my $pid = findone{ matches_criteria($_) } @giant_array){
       # Do something with element found.
}

I was thinking since this needs an actual array (or something that looks like an array), that this would probably fit best under the ARRAY namespace.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks,

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
