Hi,
I've submitted a request at PAUSE for registering a namespace for
a module I would like to implement. Can anyone tell me the
average turnaround time for a response. Does a negative response
mean no response?
From "perldoc perlnewmod":
ask the modules list at "modules@perl.org". Remember that this
is a closed list with a very long turn-around time - be
prepared to wait a good while for a response from them
Man oh man.. Can anyone please tell me their personal experience,
and what was the average turn-around time?
Thanks.

It might be anything, even indefinite. My experience is that requests
for namespace registrations frequently get dropped. I think this is
because there are not so many people who could carry out these
registrations and they are most probably busy doing other things as
well.
By and large I stopped worrying about registering modules. It serves
little purpose.

Thanks. Does this mean its ok to go ahead and code my module and
upload it to my CPAN space?
I do have a CPAN directory, but no modules yet. This is my first
time :-)

Registered or not, it's always a good idea to discuss its intended
purpose, namespace, etc. with others first. Maybe there is a natural
forum to do so considering the nature of the module; otherwise such
requests for comments are often posted here.

Good luck as a CPAN contributor. :)

Yes, by all means. The only thing that should be taken into account on
the first release of a new module is the namespace you choose. If
unsure, discussing it here is a good idea.

There's nothing to worry about. For a first-time submission your focus
should additionally be on making a module and tarball that adheres to
the CPAN standards. This is very easy with tools such as 'h2xs' or any
of the other module-skeleton creators that exist out there.
