Namespace? (Score:1)

by Alias (5735)

Normally I'd be pretty relaxed about not using a national namespace, since a lot of US companies have global reach, but in this instance, I think this is probably one we can safely say belongs in Business::US::... Business::US::PS perhaps? :)

  Well, USPS has to stay together. I've thought about "USPostalService" and some other things too. The Postal Service actually has requirements about how the name has to appear, although I'm not highly motivated to comply with them (nor motivated not to comply, either).
  
  I'm not really attached to the namespace, either. Just saying "Business::USPS::WebTools" doesn't say much unless you know what USPS is. Right now I just want to get the software working, so I went around that little speed-bump.

    Mail::Snail::Address or Mail::Snail::USPS could have been fun if Business::UPS and Business::FedEx didn't already exist.
