I too have a set of perl objects for working with password and group
files. I use it for administering our WWW site, and within scripts that
allow users to create their own accounts.

I orignally put my modules under WWW::User and WWW::Group (somewhat to
follow with RobotRules.pm--since it is web specific). I have just never
found enough time to clean up the code and see about getting it put
in the CPAN archives.
I think it would be good for all of us that have working modules to get
together and look at what each other has done, and build a superset
module.
