That looks good!
But that's a new namespace. The horse has well and truly bolted on the db module namespace issue. They're all over the place. I think reusing an existing namespace is better than creating yet another one.
I don't know (or can't remember) how the BTRIEVE::SAVE module got into the module list, but since it is that's the right place for new BTrieve modules.

I missed that namespace. In fact, browsing <http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/> I notice that things are /really/ getting out of hand. Maybe we need some CPAN police, volunteers for each of the domains listed at <http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-category/>, that must explicitly authorize new modules in that domain.
Then we can have a Great CPAN Migration effort to herd some of the strays into the proper namespace. If there was just an easy procedure for migrating packages without the compatibility concerns...
