Unclear as to problem: Tried to register 'Types', but says can't due to unrelated module.

I got an error: Dist E/EB/EBUSBOOM/Net-ICal-0.11.tar.gz, current version undef has been uploaded by EBUSBOOM. Please contact EBUSBOOM or choose a different namespace. I pulled down Net-ICal -- and there is nothing named Types\* in the distribution. So why would it conflict?

I second Brian's opinion. I would offer also Types::Core as a potential name for the module. As for the ref checking, what if I pass a plain scalar? In that case, I seem to recall that ref($plain_scalar) will be undef, in which case comparing it to a string with the eq operator will issue a
