One guy (http://search.cpan.org/~mithaldu/) on our IRC channel pointed to me today that when you search "ubic" on search.cpan.org, its description is "frontend to all ubic services", which can be confusing.
So he suggested to replace it with "perl-based service watchdog framework".
Until now, I used "Toolkit for writing daemons, init scripts and services in perl" in README, then replaced "writing" with "describing" in my blog posts, and then yesterday changed it to "Ubic is a flexible perl-based service manager", because i now think that ubic is indeed a service manager, and watchdog is not most important of its features.
(I consider "services are objects" paradigm to be ubic's main trait - code reuse, unified "status" check and easily implementable universal watchdog are just consequences).
So, what do you think?
