Hello World,
I'm seeking guidance on naming a module to avoid inappropriately
stepping on existing namespace.
The module is a wrapper for (actually subclass of) Data::Dumper with a
fairly large API. But its most distinguishing feature is interpolating
strings where massaged Data::Dumper output is substituted for variable
references.
Locally this has been in use for years as module "Vis", but now that I'm
going to contribute it to CPAN I thought it would be best to rename the
module to something like
Data::Dumper::Interpolate # Most suggestive, but a lot to type
Data::Dumper::Interp # less typing, still sort-of suggestive
Data::Interpolate # even less typing but more vague
My first question is whether placing *anything* below Data::Dumper is
appropriate. Obviously my module is not supported or sanctioned by the
authors of Data::Dumper.
Thanks for any help!

(module name is tentative of course)
