OK, short of any other suggestions, I'll do it for the forseeable.  
Does that mean I get a job/pumpking description Nat ?-)
	'Perlbug tracking' or 'Perlbugtron development' or ...?
???

On a similar theme, I was going to enquire about an authoritative(?) 
namespace for the perlbugtron (or whatever it should/will be called, 
to sit under, assuming the current system is developed.  
At the moment it's called Perlbug, that is, it's mostly a bundle of 
modules under a Perlbug/ directory with a load of sub modules: 
	Perlbug::Base
	Perlbug::Cmd	
	Perlbug::Config
	Perlbug::Email
	Perlbug::Fix
	Perlbug::Log
	Perlbug::Ticket
	Perlbug::Web
etc.

Historical context for the name:
It used to be called PbDb, but that is easily confusable with a debugger.
Tron means nothing in particular on it's own.
Perlbugtron everyone knows it by this name, but might be too long.
Perlbug (note the capital 'P' :) is just short enough and descriptive.

Any other suggestions, should we stick with Perlbug, or ...?

Ciao
