I read the Naming Modules page before registering the namespace, and shyed away from breaking new ground with a new top-level namespace. Net::DNS::Sinkhole (alpha code, still under development on github.com/warewolf/Net-DNS-Sinkhole) is mostly a purpose driven customization of two Net::DNS modules, Net::DNS::Nameserver and Net::DNS::Resolver::Programmable. I opted to put my code under the Net::DNS namespace because those two Net::DNS modules are what my code subclasses. It seemed to fit together in my mind. This code is also largely specific to DNS, but I wouldn't be against putting this under its own namespace, since the end purpose *is* to make an application. Take a quick look at the overview POD in wiki format on github https://github.com/warewolf/Net-DNS-Sinkhole/wiki/Overview (still being drafted) and tell me what you think. I'm not stuck on the name, and I realize that it's your responsibility to ensure namespaces don't get polluted. Thanks, Richard
