Hello, butting in an interesting discussion ...
Would Org::Demians::MARC::Record ( or Tamil::MARC::Record ) be very wrong, unless you aim to provide the ultimate collection of MARC modules that would make all the others obsolete ? Moose is great and I love it, but it's not forever ... in a few years we'll use Elk or something else, and you might want to port your modules ...
