I was just going to suggest the same. Including for your Log
module - although maybe there already being a well populated
Log:: TLNS makes it a weaker argument in your case.



Anyway, if it were Text::Highlight, wouldn't it make sense to move Syntax::Highlight::Perl and HTML::SyntaxHighlighter to Text::Highlight::HTML and Text::Highlight::Perl to keep all syntax highlighters in the same place? Granted, all three have different interfaces so the assumed relationship from namespace would be misleading. That's the reason I wanted to just use Syntax::Highlight. It's a language-generic namespace and it fits with half the syntax highlighters currently available on CPAN.

I think you're right about Text::Highligt being a bad name... How about Text::SyntaxHighligt... or how about Language::SyntaxHighlight? I think both are better than creating a new top-level hierarchy called Syntax. (What would you put in syntax, which can't be put into either Text or Language?)
