Firstly, thanx for mentioning Lightbox and Carousel. I hadn't heard of them.
That said, all the JS libraries in these Alien packages are somewhat complimentary; I'm using all of them together on at least one project.
That alone is interesting to know.
Only thing to watch out for, though, is that many of the JS libraries come with their own bundled copy of "Prototype" (http://www.prototypejs.org/), and the provided version varies depending on when those JS libraries were released. With the current versions of these Alien packages on CPAN, the "Alien::scriptaculous" package has the most recent version; if you're installing files from multiple packages, do this one last. :)
A gotcha!
I'd considered the idea of setting up a separate "Alien::prototype" package to contain the latest version of Prototype and then have everything else depend on that instead, but haven't yet had a chance to fully think about how to handle things like version conflicts or dependencies on old copies of Prototype. So, for now at least, each of these Alien:: packages comes "standalone" and has no requirements on any other Alien:: package.
Yes, I'd go for a stand-alone Alien::Prototype module. The incompatibilities are regrettable, but not your responsibility. Of course a warning in the docs would be appreciated by all users, I'm sure.
