  In the absence of an iterator like mine on CPAN - I checked the other day (although there are about 5 already, none do it my way).

  So what is your, way, and what makes it so special that it needs it's own toplevel namespace?

  Care to put the pod online?

    So what is the best namespace to put iterators into ?

    Seriously - I looked at CPAN for an obvious namespace to drop it into - maybe I should use class::iterator::lite but it isn't a class you really use as a superclass, more a class you use as visitor ( has-a rather than is-a ).

    I will put the pod and source online once I have tested it a bit more and made sure it isn't unintentionally copying from damien or anyone else.

      Well to me it mostly depends on your API, which is why I'm curious to see what your module actually does, and how you call on it. That's why I asked about seeing the pod.

      For which Class::Visitor could be a good name, if i

        er.. yeah, I would need to write some pod.

        At the moment I need to debug a small problem with the autoload created subs, so that it works properly.

        Data::Iterator would be a good name if it is free.
