Hi Ovid,
I'm not going to comment on the name - I'm lousy with names :-) But I have to wonder about your motivation for writing this module - what's the purpose?
If a module is completely OO, you should be able to write the long name only once - when you call new() (or if you call new() several times, save the long name in a variable, as Gaal suggested). Afterwards, all the data and methods should be accesible using $object->method(), for example. Isn't that what OO is all about?
There was a discussion about this a while ago which started with a question I sent to the Israe.pm mailing list:
http://perl.org.il/pipermail/perl/2004-December/006493.html
From what was said, I'm pretty convinced that you don't need a module such as the one you've written for OO modules. Am I wrong?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
