Subject:

dual nationality?

Hi there! What should happen if a CPAN Author has dual nationality (or dual citizenship)? I added Daisuke Maki to Acme::CPANAuthors::Brazilian, and he's obviously also in Acme::CPANAuthors::Japanese. This is what happened: $ perl -MAcme::CPANAuthors -E 'say $_->{name} . q[+] . $_->{category} foreach (Acme::CPANAuthors->look_for(q[DMAKI]))' Daisuke Maki+Brazilian Daisuke Maki+Japanese Since he's just one, and with a single CPAN Id, there should be only one entry, no? I really have no idea how to solve this the "right" way, or if there is a "right" way. But I thought you should be aware of this, since it's your call :D Cheers! garu

What is the issue? look_for returns a list of hashes, one hash per match. There's a few other cases where an author may appear in more than one list, as not all of the Authors distributions are for nations.

That's fine, I was just thinking it could return matches on an arrayref, per hash key (instead of one hash per match). Current behaviour is totally fine, though. I just didn't know whether you guys had considered it before, i.e. if what what I got was per-design or by accident. Thanks!
