• Commented on Net:: vs WWW:: vs WebService::
  Not a bad suggestion also! Though I'd abbreviate them a bit. Not just for the fingers, but for the eyes. For example: Net::Proto::App::HTTP, Net::Proto::Transport::ZeroMQ. Although having Net::Proto prefix alone (Net::Proto::HTTP, Net::Proto::ZeroMQ) is a huge improvement already....

  UPDATE #1 2014-07-11: Added Catmandu::Exporter::Table. This module is not exactly lightweight, so I will not consider it for usage in Perinci::CmdLine::Lite, but it's interesting to benchmark anyway.

  My Internet connection at home is not great: it's rather slow and flaky. When I ran minicpan to update my mini CPAN earlier today, the process always seemed to choke on this file: id/D/DG/DGINEV/Lingua-EN-SENNA-0.03.tar.gz: exit with Connection time-out error. The first run I thought it…

• Commented on Another (silly) idea: autocorrect in shell (bash) tab completion
  UPDATE: bash does replace to-be-completed word with the common prefix of all possible completion, so autocorrect is already possible. Yay! For example, if word is "adu" and completion is ["audrey", "audry"], bash *will* replace the "adu" with "audr". If word...

  Here's another idea that just popped up in my head and can be considered silly, somewhat: autocorrect for tab completion.
