Sorry, your claim that CGI.pm isn't for networking is, well, silly.

As for CPANPLUS, if they want to keep "CPAN" in the name, then the primary way they are going to attach to CPAN is via a network. I don't mind in the least if they decide that this is not really the central purpose of the module and call it something having to do with "module management" or whatever.

But the point is that the only modules that don't have "::" in their names should be all-lowercase, that is, pragmas. See Filehandles vs. Packages: And the winner is... for one good reason why.

Other reasons include the "I used CGI" problem. Having a "::" in a module name can avoid a lot of confusion.

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


Do you know where your variables are?
