You know, I was privately called on this and I was wrong. Eric, I'm sorry and I shouldn't have said this. At this point on the CPAN, it really doesn't matter what goes out there. I really *do* like this hack and who am I to say what namespace it should be in? So my apologies for taking such a negative view. I'm sorry if I gave offense.
