Thanks for posting. You've clearly put some thought into this, which is a really good sign. FWIW, here is my take on your proposal(s).

Even without other considerations, I'd really like to move to "PDF" as root in namespace.

No reason not to, given that the root already exists. If it were me I would not be doing the whole PDF::CAMPDF::* thing but would probably just settle for the shorter PDF::CAM::*. A second "PDF" in there just seems redundant - although others might disagree.

No, I didn't try to ask Chris.

I think it's only polite to ask. Especially if you make it clear that even not replying is perfectly fine. If an objection comes back then you can abide by that but if the reply is "Actually, under CAM::PDF is the perfect home for it" then you're done and dusted.

On the other hand, "Extended" is kind of dull and about nothing.

This is the part where perhaps a positive change might be made. "Extended" hints at some extra functionality but not what that is or how it relates to the parent module. Have you just introduced more subs or have you overwritten existing ones? Is there something which ties all this new code together? Can you sum up in one sentence why any given programmer would use the new module over the existing one (or vice versa)? Perhaps then we can all have a think and come up with something more descriptive (or as you say, at least fun).
