I would leave it as MARC::Errorchecks, or maybe MARC::Validate? If you must distinguish between different types of validation you could then have MARC::Validate::Bibliographic, etc. But I would worry about that when you actually do have other types of validation :-) > Similarly, if I add the Bibliographic directory in MARC, perhaps my other > module, MARC::Lintadditions > <http://home.inwave.com/eija/bryanmodules/MARC-Lintadditions-1.04/> should > be renamed to MARC::Bibliographic::Lintadditions?

Any chance your Lint additions could be added to MARC::Lint proper and avoid user confusion down the road? //Ed
