Look at the categorization of those modules. How easy would they have been to find? Regardless of what the actual names for them were, it would have been ideal for them to have the following logical names to facilitate searching:
  1. Number::Spell::Cardinal
  2. Number::Spell::Ordinal

I am always keeping track of the difficulties in finding things in the Perl community and appreciate this post by merlyn, which adds yet another rung to my soapbox...

Of course, the bigger question is how best to solve this quandry, and I think the best thing is to simply keep observing the difficulties and eventually flesh out an answer as more detail develops.
