Like some alluded to above, I *like* competing packages. So I don't think too many projects should be mooshed together at all, but that wasn't your real point. This was-

So here is my idea, istead of trying to steer each other's project into our goals let's try to find some sub projects of common goals to collaborate on.

That's a really good idea and it's interesting to note that the jQuery kit just did exactly this. They broke out their selector engine as a separate piece--called sizzle--for any and all to use or improve.

Now finding ways to break out Perl projects the same way... That's a trick. I have felt that parts of Cat's engines, like HTTP::Body, should really be folded back into the HTTP::Request space. Hmmmmm....
