The modules look very cool.
However
You should be careful as to what modules you've created solve a problem in
a particular way that you enjoy using and which ones are truly
generic. Some of the following was unclear in your email explanation of
the modules.
I am worried that some of your CGI::* modules have taken a hold of a
generic namespace when they should belong either somewhere else in CPAN or
under CGI::WPM.
eg Why is CGI::SequentialFile under CGI::? Shouldn't a data storage module
you are relying on be under a totally different tree? And also what are you
using CGI::SequentialFile for? It's a bit unclear as to the relationship there.
Of course, I should be one to talk... I've never uploaded anything to CPAN
yet (although I've got an ID now... ). Congrats on taking that step forward. :)
