I'd suggest contacting the author of Data::Rmap and discussing whether he would accept a patch from you that adds COW (or the option of it) before you consider releasing your own module.

I know that pride of ownership makes it tough to give up on releasing something that you've written, but remember that monks are supposed to be humble, too. :-)
