    I have a handful of interesting little modules that I want to upload
    as my first contributions to CPAN. I already have the PAUSE account,
    but note the comments on choosing the right namespace and have looked
    at the Perl 5 Module List.

    One module I have is locally called SCSI.pm. It's a module for
    direct-access to SCSI devices. It's intended to support access on
    multiple platforms, but I've currently only written a Linux backend.
    (I've also got a CDDA ripper by way of example.)

    Were it Linux-specific, I'd be tempted to go for Linux::SCSI, but the
    API is intended to be more generic. Device::SCSI seems fitting and
    keeps it out of the top-level namespace, but I note there's enough
    oddball items in the top level to suggest that plain SCSI.pm could be
    just fine.

    Comments, anybody?
