 As you might know I've been working on DateTime::Calendar::Chinese, but
   right now I'm kind of stuck on the interface, because of two reasons:

   1) the Astro stuff. Just where to put it??
   2) The year nocation in CC uses sexagecimal cycles -- I'm not
  familiar with this -- do Chinese people really use it?

 Also, I'm fairly sure that Japanese calendars don't use sexagecimal
 cycles. They usually use 'eras' to distinguish a certain period of time.
 That also makes inheritance a bit of a problem.

 I know you've at least thought about implementing a Chinese calendar --
 have you thought about this stuff? Do you have any recommendations?

Doh, this all should stay on list though.

 So I know Joshua Hobblit has suggested

Astro::Calendrical::*

 It kind of seemed like (because these functions are specifically to
 calculate dates) it belongs more to DateTime::* namespace. Is there a
 possibility to create a namespace for such helper modules, which are
 not directly related to datetime calculations?

Absolutely.  I've suggested DateTime::Util for helpers before.  Astro::* makes sense 
for 'generic' astronomical calculations.  DateTime specific stuff should inhabit 
another namespace.
