help with module naming: filehandle-tie for size-limited/rotating logfile
am 18.03.2007 10:44:56 von Yakov
I'm about to upload a module, the filehandle-tie for size-limited
logs.
I did not find existing module in cpan, so I wrote one.
Please help me to select the right module name.
I am thinking about name Tie::SizeLimitedLog or Tie::RotatingLog.
The closest relative is the existing Tie::LogFile (except that
Tie::LogFile does
not have the size-limiting (rotating) functionality).
Which name shall I choose ?
Thanks
Yakov Lerner

Perhaps you can e-mail a patch to the author of Tie::LogFile containing
the new feature.

Perhaps Tie::LogFile::Limited would be good, but coordinate with the
author of the other module before you put something in his/her namespace.
