This is something I have had need for in more than one project. does string look like a name.

That by itself means module.

It doesn't mean it deserves to be given a swanky namespace and put on cpan- it does mean it would make my work a little tiny bit more convenient.

The fact that I alone looked it up on cpan, means that somebody would make use of this.

When you get down to it, every module on cpan is just a simple match. It just happens to be a simple match that I don't have to write. :-)

Did you actually look at Data::RandomPerson? Look at the source code of one of these modules.

This proves that the module I am searching for, would have been base for Data::RandomPerson. Obviously Peter Hickman (bless his heart!) did not foresee the data to be useful for anything else, and thus harcoded it outside of a named exportable symbol.
