Hi, I was the first occupant of the App:: namespace on CPAN in 2002. I started populating it with related distributions for an application development framework.
Over the years I have seen various people drop distributions in that namespace. Rarely are they related to building applications and none of them that I can tell are actually complete applications in themselves (except the ones I have been building using my application development framework which have not yet hit CPAN). So for those who are interested in the history and use of the App:: namespace, I have added a bit more information.
