I think part of it results from not wanting to type 'OpenDirectory' when a four-letter alternative exists.

The WWW::Search:: namespace seems a little off. So far as i can see, _all_ the modules below WWW::Search:: are subclassed to call the respective search engine. This one doesn't. Besides there is already a WWW::Search::OpenDirectory :)

Perhaps WWW::DMOZ will help to distinguish it in the human memory space, then. :)
