Hello World, I'm seeking guidance on naming a module to avoid inappropriately stepping on existing namespace. The module is a wrapper for (actually subclass of) Data::Dumper with a fairly large API. But its most distinguishing feature is interpolating strings where massaged Data::Dumper output is substituted for variable references. Locally this has been in use for years as module "Vis", but now that I'm going to contribute it to CPAN I thought it would be best to rename the module to something like Data::Dumper::Interpolate # Most suggestive, but a lot to type Data::Dumper::Interp # less typing, still sort-of suggestive Data::Interpolate # even less typing but more vague My first question is whether placing *anything* below Data::Dumper is appropriate. Obviously my module is not supported or sanctioned by the authors of Data::Dumper. Thanks for any help! -Jim Avera P.S. For specifics, please run perldoc http://abhweb.org/jima/perl/lib/Data/Dumper/Interp.pm (module name is tentative of course)
