RE: new category?

Ed,

How about conversions?  or mimic the words in CPAN "Convert"?

Many of our conversions are in CPAN like the Convert::IBM390 module but many
of us create interesting utilities using them.  I just wrote on generalized
conversion for EBCDIC which could be used as blueprint for others doing the
same work.

Sincerely,

David

Subject: new category?


I'm working on some embedded systems tools in Perl which will allow
conversion of files among the various forms of binary file formats (i.e.
Motorola hex, Intel hex, pure binary, etc.) but there doesn't yet seem to
be an appropriate category for these and it doesn't seem like the sort of
thing that would usefully be put in a module.  Should there be a category
like "Utility" with perhaps a subcategory "Programming"?
