I need a better name for a Perl module. I asked the following on comp.lang.perl.modules a few days ago with no answers:

I  am working on a module which will be used to filter setpoint alarms in
an energy management system based on when they last occurred: if a given
value between a range was triggered in the last X seconds, return false,
otherwise return true.

The module may have more generic uses as an age-filter of numerical
values:

  $f->add_point('100,199', 900); # 100..199 once every 15 min
  $f->add_point('200,'   ,  60); # 200...   once every minute

  $f->test_point(210);           # returns true
  $f->test_point(211);           # returns false
  sleep(61);                     # wait over 60 seconds
  $f->test_point(211);           # returns true now

It's tentatively called SetPoint::AgeFilter but SetPoint::* is not very
friendly towards the module-name hierarchy.  The Filter::* namespace
isn't appropriate since Perl source filters are used there.

I'm open to suggestions for better names.
