I do not mean to offend, but your module sounds like a solution in search of a problem. Why would someone else (who is not you), use this module instead of the other available modules using more standard formats, such as CSV, XML, etc?

After answering that only then would I consider uploading to CPAN, and then you would know more of how you should name it, knowing you know how others would/could use it.

I would not create a module that uses a non-standard file format when that format is significantly like other formats. For instance, we can give a nod to YAML, seeing it's substantially different from CSV (and has Data::Dumper like functionality built in), although this looks like an incompatible version of CSV that would only create confusion.

Thus, my opinion is... leave it off CPAN entirely until the use cases can be rationalized. And until you think your version is superior to other competing formats. The name should come more easily once you know what it is.
