What does the G in GMIME stand for? Is it an easily recognisable name that people will know to look for, or is it (as it seems) somewhat arbitrary and obscure? Your earlier message says that this is an XS implementation, and that it's faster than the existing MIME tools. Is this its only (or main) point of distinction? If so, I'd go for a name like MIME::Fast::* or something. (Some people might suggest MIME::XS::* but we like to make the name match the *features* not the specific *implementation*).
