Re: [libcloud] Creating sandbox/perl

On this note, it's worth considering how we'll structure the project to accommodate different languages.  Especially with the Java port, I don't think a directory within sandbox does it justice anymore.  How about a structure like this:

libcloud
	/trunk/	<-- core python trunk
	/java/ 	<-- java trunk
	/perl/ 	<-- perl trunk
	/.../		<-- etc, etc

I think we need to have additional discussions about reconciling the differences between trunk and the various languages before moving other languages out of the sandbox.

For example, the lack of tests is troublesome and I think that is the next major roadblock for officially supporting or announcing the release of the Java port.

Cheers,
