I find no mention of any of them in the archives at all, did you ever
discuss the namespaces anywhere?
IP:: would be new toplevel namespace, so I'm not fond of introducing
it without a discussion of alternatives.
Net::Subnet::Count is a three level tier in which Net::Subnet:: is a
new namespace. Could you lend us a hand in justifying this new
namespace?
Same goes for Tie::IP::Address.
I'm not sure, but I could imagine somewhere in the NetPacket or
Network hierarchie or below the Net::DNS there might be a place to
consider settling.
