CPAN prefers TitleCased module names #1

Open rmzg opened 8 years ago

All the other modules on CPAN use TitleCase for their package names. Please consider doing so as well. Please also place the module name into an existing namespace (dotconfig => Parse::DotConfig)

Could you answer the following questions?

  1. Do you think JSON and YAML are inappropriate namespaces?
  2. dotconfig is a proper noun. How it should be treated in CPAN namespace in your view?

Sure thing!

I believe JSON and YAML are inappropriate because the module doesn't actually deal with either, it does its own thing. You might also consider the Config:: namespace, lots of modules that deal with config files live there.

The usual standard for a proper noun is capitalizing the first letter e.g. Dotconfig.
