I'm fully in support of exhausting namespaces in programming languages. It's really annoying that people keep making one-off projects with weird names that reinvent the wheel. In CPAN, you create a module with a hierarchical name (Net::LDAP), and people inherit from it and extend the namespace to add new functionality (Net::LDAP::Batch). Finding a package that does what you want is [relatively] easy. Old code gets maintained rather than somebody reinventing it for the 72nd time with a hodge-podge of functionality. |
