Re: The App:: namespace? Sharing a webapp on CPAN

I for one am against putting apps in CPAN (and yeah, don't want to start a flame here, I know it's not a popular stance ;-). I believe Sourceforge or Google code might be great for applications. Freshmeat it and there you go.

I don't go to CPAN for complete applications and vice versa, I don't scan freshmeat for modules.

I'm all for start putting apps on CPAN. Let's start something new! We don't search apps on CPAN because there are hardly any. CPAN can offer advantages over freshmeat / sf.net: we know the apps are Perl-based, users can do automatic installation, mirroring ability, etc. I suggest a more detailed namespace though, e.g. App::Web:: or Webapp:: for all webapps, App::Web::{Forum,CMS,...}. But this probably will happen naturally when the App:: namespace starts to be crowdly populated.	[reply]

I'm not sure what you want to point out with that link. I know there are scripts there, but that doesn't change my opinion that it's not the best space for scripts to begin with. HTML::Template can also be found on freshmeat. Not the best place IMHO. -- b10m	[reply]

Where do you think is a good place for fairly short scripts (as opposed to large "apps" that might merit their own google-code/freshmeat/whatever)?	[reply]

I should also mention that the, "script" isn't a small guy, it's between 65,000 and 85,000 LOC, with > 100 template files and a few other supporting things. -justin simoni skazat me	[reply]
