I am aware of that module. It does something completely different from mine, so I'm not worried about duplicating functionality. However, I do realize the name can cause some confusion. I welcome other suggestions. I had briefly considered "module.pm" or "class.pm", but I envisioned howls of protests: use class "Really::Long::Class::Name"; my $o = Name->new; However, I do think it's more clear.
