Subject: Module short name
Hello, Typing the module full name in oneliners is more than cumbersome. I propose that you provide the choice, in Makefile.PL, to also install the module with a short name "eta", so it can be used like this: $ perl -Meta=batman -leprint+metabatman crash Yes, there's already the meta(1) command for simple cases like this one, but for more complex cases combining several themes it's really better. Here's a example of eta.pm to install: package eta; use Acme::MetaSyntactic; @ISA = qw(Acme::MetaSyntactic); "holy cow" __END__ Regards -- Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

The next version of Acme::MetaSyntactic (if ever) will contain an eta.pm and the installer will require you to explicitely request it to be installed. Thanks, -- BooK
