Maybe the framework and the PE module should be seperately named?

This is a good idea. Perhaps refactoring the design into a File::Details class- whereby images would have properties such as "width", "height", "bpp", tar files might have one big list of "file" entires, etc.
I'll have a think and a hack, and post a preliminary on CPAN beginning next week. I'll include a couple of braindead and incomplete modules to demo support for a wider variety of file formats than PE, and to (hopefully) make the interface more obvious.
Thanks for the support all you guys, it's hard to keep up! ;)
Matt.
