Subject: bad distribution
From: Iain Truskett <spoon [...] cpan.org>
Hello, Your modules have no documentation, no tests, and bad names. Perhaps you missed the docs pertaining to writing CPAN modules. Below are links to them. Might I suggest you delete your modules from CPAN (via the PAUSE interface) and package them better? http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about#duties Your duties, the basics, traps We trust that you have read the module list top down and bottom up and back again and that you regularly check out uploads to CPAN and that you have been watching CPAN activities for a while to have an impression of how things fit together. It usually boils down to (slogan shamelessly stolen and adapted from sudo(1)): 1. Think, better even *talk*, before you upload 2. Respect the namespace of others http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_contribute_modules http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/pod/perlmodlib.pod#Modules_Creation_Use_and_Abuse http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/pod/perlnewmod.pod cheers, -- Iain.

Read the code if you want to know what it does. I'm not very interested in writing documentation. Show quoted text
> no tests,
The test program is called "test". Show quoted text

That's a matter of personal taste. But if you don't like my names it's easy to change them yourself. Show quoted text

No, I've read them. One thing I still can't figure out is how to get a one-line module description to show up on CPAN. I thought it would pull it from README but that doesn't seem to be the case. Show quoted text

I like my modules just fine as they are. I like their names. I like them written in Perl, not English. /jdb Show quoted text
