I've been developing a script that creates SYSV packages from CPAN sources using CPANPLUS. In the process, I've developed a few bits of code that should be abstracted out into a seperate module so that others (for example, alien <http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/>) can use the code to create SYSV packages.
Related module namespaces I've found are: Alien::Package -- Convert between various package formats. Meta::Tool::Deb -- Something to do with debian archives? RPM -- Perl wrapper for RPM API. Software::Packager -- Abstract class for creating SYSV packages RPMs, debs, etc. I had thought of creating a SYSV:: namespace, but that seems a bit too broad. Pkg::SYSV? Ideas?
