Before uploading any modules to CPAN it's worth checking the naming conventions with the gods at the module@perl.org mailing list.

My personal preference (and I have three Tie::X modules on CPAN) is to use a system like Tie::Type::Description, where Tie indicates that it's a tied object, Type gives the type of Perl variable that you tie the object to (e.g. Hash) and Description is a brief indication of what the module does. Examples of this kind of module are Tie::Hash::Regex, Tie::Hash::Approx, Tie::Scalar::HalfLife and Tie::Scalat::TimeOut.
