Whoa, I think you're a) reinventing the wheel, and b) probably giving your wheel an inappropriate name anyway :) Michael Schwern's currently working on Archive::Any (a wrapper around Archive::Zip and friends, I believe) so you might want to talk to him. Even if you do go ahead with your module, I'd suggest *not* putting it in the Software:: namespace. We don't have any such top-level namespace at the moment, and this doesn't seem like an adequate reason to start one. Also, "Software" isn't the important thing about your module (hey, *every* module is about software, in a sense); "Packaging" is the important thing. Now, it happens that we don't have a top-level Package:: namespace anyway, but we do have Archive:: which serves the same kind of purpose. That's why I'm suggesting you go for Archive::Something.
