Not to be > obscure or anything. ;) I'm not trying to belabor the point; I'm not a namespace Nazi, I promise. I can see the rationale for being in Net::*, especially if RFC 2446/2447 is planned for inclusion (is it?). But whereas those are network protocols, 2445 is not. It's a message data format standard. Other RFC-related modules would include SMTP, POP, MIME (Mail::), HTML parsing/generating, and so on. Net::* is filed under the CPAN by-category 05_Networking_Devices_IPC. Anyhow, I apologize. I know this isn't the forum for namespace discussion. I just don't want to sound nuts for not looking in Net:: for an iCalendar module. Judge for yourself whether I am. :-) Either way, I'm going to use it.Thread Previous | Thread Next
