What an awful name (I'm not usually this blunt but it is worse than calling it Exporter::Dandy). Exporter::Prefixing would at least be descriptive. Why don't you roll these few extra features into one of the other exporting modules?

Having lots of choices of similar modules might be nice for people writing scripts (and it might not). But it isn't very nice for people writing modules. Exporters are only used by modules.

We already have a lots of reluctance among users to download modules because of the many headaches they run into. Now you want people downloading modules to end up downloading 4 or 5 different Exporter modules as well? I don't think the person trying to get a module installed will appreciate this situation.

Please try to review your own modules with at least as much criticism as you seem to have in abundance for the modules of other people.

I like your couple of little enhancements but don't find them to be nearly enough to justify a new module, especially one for use by module authors.
