Yes. You would either be reserving them for yourself across all of CPAN, unless you no_index them, in which case you would merely be making it probably-impossible to use your module together with another one that might also want to use these packages. (Which doesn’t have to be a CPAN module, it can also be some would-be user’s already-existing code base.) It will be uglier to namespace your stuff more; bite that bullet.
