package Algorithm::Combinatorics { ... }

NB: The   package NAMESPACE BLOCK syntax was not available prior to Perl version 5.14.

    { package NAMESPACE;  statement;  statement;  ...;  ... }
(Indeed, I think it's exactly equivalent, but I'm not quite sure about this :)

    {   package My::Package;
    ...
}
