Indeed, Local:: is the namespace you should use for local things. There are a handful of modules in this namespace if you search CPAN, but if you look closely they're mostly in "examples" directories, not in "lib", so will usually not get installed.

local::lib and some of its friends are unfortunate. Technically they're not violating the rule, but on case-insensitive filesystems they might as well be.

If you have a CPAN ID yourself, you can always use your own CPAN ID (in all caps) as a namespace. Many people regard that as a namespace that 100% belongs to the owner of the CPAN ID. That is, I could release a module called TOBYINK::Monkey, but for anyone else to do so would be outrageous.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
