Module renaming

[Per Einar Ellefsen <pe...@skynet.be>]

Hi everyone,

In relation to the other posts on this subject, I did as Doug asked me to 
and went through all the current Apache:: modules to categorize them.

What I came to was this:
http://users.skynet.be/pereinar/mod-perl/modules.txt

WARNING TO ALL CRITICS: I am *not* suggesting we rename all existing 
Apache:: modules, that issue has been raised many times before, and is 
clearly impractical. This list is only to get an idea of what categories 
could possibly be needed. Think of it as a way of wrapping my mind around 
what is already here.

 From this, and some comments from other people, I have come to a set of 
Module naming guidelines, which I just placed online for your perusal: see 
here:
http://users.skynet.be/pereinar/mod-perl/products/apache-modules.html#Module_Naming_Conventions

Some questions I got which I'm not too sure of:
- I created the Apache::Util:: namespace. However, one person thought the 
Persistent:: namespace to be too specific, and would prefer to rename 
Apache::Util:: to something like ::Misc, ::Lib, ::Extensions or ::Addons, 
and add the Persistent:: modules there. What do you think?
- I originally had Apache::Auth::Authen, ::Authz and ::Access, but Robin 
Berjon told me he prefered to have the 4 as top-level namespaces. What do 
people think?

I am moving soon, so hope to get positive comments tomorrow. If not, I'll 
delay it until I get back to a computer.
