As the PDF:: namespace already exists it wouldn't seem farfetched to
consider something in there. Unfortunately I do not understand much
about PDF. That makes suggestions difficult, but the important fact is
that "short and meaningful" for us usually implies at least a 2-level
nested namespace.
cpan> m /^pdf/
Module PDF (A/AN/ANTRO/PDF-111.tgz)
Module PDF::Core (A/AN/ANTRO/PDF-111.tgz)
Module PDF::Create (F/FT/FTASSIN/PDF-Create-0.01.tar.gz)
Module PDF::Create::Outline (F/FT/FTASSIN/PDF-Create-0.01.tar.gz)
Module PDF::Create::Page (F/FT/FTASSIN/PDF-Create-0.01.tar.gz)
Module PDF::Pages (A/AN/ANTRO/PDF-110.tgz)
Module PDF::Parse (A/AN/ANTRO/PDF-111.tgz)
7 items found
Besides these I find people have created PDF related tools in the
namespaces Text::PDF (Martin Hosken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) and
Text::PDF::API (Alfred Reibenschuh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). But
the Text:: category is quite inconsistent category and doesn't help
much visavis the fact that PDF is a widely known acronym.
So I'd suggest PDF::Report or PDF::Generator or something similar.
