Re: new script category?

Hi all,

I have written a script (perl Tk) which doesn't fit into the current
script categories.
It's called mkFilter.pl a script with GUI for testing perl regular
expressions, filtering input data (text) and generating template
scripts. The script doesn't fit into any existing category.

My suggestion for a new category is Text::Filter.

I got one reply from the list:

But I think the script categories are organized by funktion not by
libraries.
Another suggestion could be devel (for developing like the module
category).

Any comments?
