Re^10: Namespace/advice for new CPAN modules for Thai & Lao ( Regexp::CharClasses::Thai / Lingua::Thai::RegexpCharClasses )

[Polyglot]

It's the "Also to distribute a helper parent module Regexp::CharProps with it..." that I have no idea how to do. I'll put a little more thought into the name later, as I have another window of time.

I do have some work still with preparing the other files for the submission. There are parts of the instruction provided on PAUSE that confuse me, such as the issue with the README files. Can they really not be included in the package? If not, how does one upload them later?

You have been very kind and patient in answering my questions. Thank you so much.

Regexp::CharProps just another .pm file you include :)

lib
`-- lib/Regexp
    |-- lib/Regexp/CharProps
    |   `-- lib/Regexp/CharProps/Thai.pm
    `-- lib/Regexp/CharProps.pm

2 directories, 2 files

You only upload one file to pause/cpan, a tarball/distribution, and it contains the README, you don't upload a seperate README file ... PAUSE/CPAN unpacks/extracts the README file from the tarball/distribution

Here is how you might start from scratch (using module-starter) and upload it (using cpan-upload )
