I continue to disagree.  An application that happens to include Perl modules
does not need to be named perl-* any more than an application written in any
other language would.  If there were reason to split the modules from the
application then of course the package with the modules would of course have the
usual naming convention for Perl modules.  It may be that that's the case.

See also Spamassassin, in the distro for some time now.  It's clearly an
application, having an initscript, config files and executables, but it happens
to include a whole bunch of Perl modules.  (And it's not the only one; Perlbal
is another.)  Frankly I'd expect that any well-written Perl application would
include some modules.  But now I fully expect Ralf to launch into another tirade
to try to get Spamassassin and Perlbal renamed as well.  Such is life.

Ruben, in the end, I don't really care, and I won't comment further on this
ticket.  I personally just tune Ralf out when he goes on like this, but if you
decide that you want to rename this package then be my guest.  Just make another
CVS request and we'll figure out how to get rid of the existing package.
