@jethro: I agree with you comment about *::Lite.

However, please don't encourage more meaningless names. Meaningful names is one more plus in favour of CPAN, and lack of them is one of my pet peeves about python's library. Moose is a great set of modules and I use them, but I don't like the name; I am willing to concede that all the good names I can think of are already taken. There's a really nice networking framework in python called: Twisted. I think that's twisted and not helpful. I can find useful modules in CPAN by browsing categories.
