Here I am again, in need of advice. Sometimes I think this project will never end. I suspect that once you begin writing a module it takes on a life of its own. Thanks for all the help so far.

Are there any established module naming conventions? I have a module that I hope will be an enhancement to Term::ReadKey and it has two subs: which for now I'm calling LoadKeyHash, and Keypressed. I had originally wanted to name the module Term::Keypressed but ran into a few error messages that seem to indicate that it wasn't happy with a module being named the same thing as an internal sub. So I've renamed it Term::TermKeys which I think is a more general description of the module (and am happy with now).

Module Term::ReadKey (Readkey.pm) also has several subs named ReadKey (the one actually used is determined conditionally and defined via eval) but has several other subs defined within it. Is it more common to name a module after a principal sub, or should it be more descriptive of the purpose/functionally of the module? Am I just splitting hairs here or does any of this matter?

Thanks for any advice/opinions you can provide. I wouldn't be so picky if it were just for my own personal use, but the goal is to make this available for others to use (if it's deemed useful) and possibly a tutorial on it's use as well.
