How about actually namespacing it? I can appreciate the desire to have a "pretty" name, but what I've been playing with is doing both, i.e. HTML::Zoom gets referred to as just 'Zoom' but is more findable - so perhaps you'd be better off with XML::Diamond for this? (if the XML part was important enough to be in the original name, seems like it might be worth having it in the new name too :) -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our Catalyst commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team.
