Re: Planning a new CPAN module for WARC support (DSLIP: IdpOp)

Hey jcb, this is a great presentation here, but to be honest, I feel that it's a bit overwhelming.

It might be easier to digest for our busy Monks if you could put the code into a repository of some sort (Github/Bitbucket etc), then ask your questions in a shorter, more direct and concise post, referring to the code in the external location where necessary.

Not trying to dissuade you here... I've definitely asked for code review numerous times here over the years. I'm just making a suggestion from experience that may get more eyes on what you're trying to achieve/ask.

If not for my very first question, I would have uploaded a "preview release" to CPAN already.

If the answer to that first question is (as I suspect) "No, put it at top-level", then I can start making early releases to CPAN. I expect that "0.0.0 alpha N" is a reasonable version number for "no code yet". :-)

And there seems to be a small misunderstanding: I am really asking for an API design review. There is effectively no code written yet because I am hoping for monks more experienced than myself to say either "Yes, that API is sound and will be a good addition to CPAN." or "You will have problems here, here, and here. Have you considered ...?" before I put too much effort into writing code that will make problems later.
