Good day all,

I'm starting work on a module for a client and I've received permission to 
release the module to CPAN afterwards.  The tentative name is 
Business::AuthorizeNet::CIM, and I wanted to check if there is any reason to 
change.

The module will be a pure-Perl interface to the Authorize.Net CIM SOAP 
interface. CIM is the Customer Interface Manager API, i.e. the thing that 
stores customer profiles and associated credit card information on the 
Authorize.Net servers so that you don't have to store it locally.  This module 
will have a function that wraps each of the functions in the API as listed 
here: http://www.authorize.net/support/CIM_SOAP_guide.pdf ; there may also end 
up being some higher-level functions that combine the low-level stuff into 
higher-level chunks, but that's not determined yet.

I've already discussed it with Ivan Kohler, maintainer of the CPAN 
Business:OnlinePayment::AuthorizeNet module, 
(http://search.cpan.org/~ivan/Business-OnlinePayment-AuthorizeNet-3.20/AuthorizeNet.pm)
 and he was the one that suggested calling it Business:AuthorizeNet::CIM.


Thanks for any advice,

--Dks
