| Subject: | Document and enforce Distribution-Name and Module::Name conventions |
Andy,
I've really enjoyed this module since finding it a few years ago.
Even with many years in the Perl community, I wasn't sure how to name
pass arguments to this. I was so module-centric in my thinking that I
didn't (fully) know what a distribution was. I had conflated them in my
mind.
I think it would be great to give example command-line examples with
real-world (not symbolic) arguments.
Simple, 1-module distribution:
module-maker --distro=MyCompany-DBI --module=MyCompany::DBI
equivalent to:
module-maker --module=MyCompany::DBI
More complex, multi-module distribution:
module-maker --distro=MyCompany::Communication
--module=MyCompany::Communication::HTTP,MyCompany::Communication::FTP,MyCompany::Communication::Paper,MyCompany::Communication::Paper::CottonBond,MyCompany::Communication::Paper::HempFiber
In addition, doing a quick naming-convention check (with appropriate
errors) would be helpful and instructive to newbies (and not-so-newbies
like me).
If you like this idea enough to approve it, but don't have time to code
it, let me know. I'd be happy to submit patches.
Thanks,
Michael
