I am getting close to producing a package (written in Perl) which is useful to people who do GPS related work, but should be useful to any kind of surface related work (such as Materials Science and Engineering, which is my "home"). But, I think this package will eventually be something like 50 different modules, as probably something like 10 different families of packages. The intention is to send this to CPAN, being a Debian person I suppose I could build it for Debian. But parts of this package are of general usefulness. Which is why it will be families of modules. Most people start by doing something simple. I didn't. From what other people have recommended, I should start "publishing" the bits that work. I suppose most people who write Perl code, expect bugs and everything else to go to CPAN. Over the years, I've had questions about using various other Perl modules, and so having some other contact method seems to be needed. I thought it would be useful on my end, to have incoming mail related to Perl, to have a UserID of 'perl' in the destination address. Maybe this package of mine becomes useful to people. And perhaps Debian picks it up. My hope then would be to use debian@... as the contact, instead of perl@.... I can see how this can snowball into all kinds of directions. I have never produced software which is useful across many different applications before, and I am just trying to minimize problems for me, or for users. Thanks.
