Is there a suitable top-level name that I could host my client under, or would grabbing the Spoor name be ok under these circumstances? If it's a web service, I'd say use WWW:: or WebService::. If it's an OSI Layer 7 protocol like HTTP, I'd go with Net::. If all else fails, API::Spoor wouldn't be a terrible idea. Doug Bell [email protected]
