Hi. I've written few libraries I'd like to release on CPAN and I'm looking for some advice on how to name them.

I found this idea in Head First OOA&D, chapter 5. It's somewhat like a very simple version of Key-Value Coding. It's also very similar to Object::Generic but I didn't use AUTOLOAD and I implemented 'equals' and 'contains' methods in order to make the objects searchable within a container.

Here's an example:

 my $a = tbd_name::Object->new();
 my $b = tbd_name::Object->new();

 $a->set( "ID", tbd_name::String->new("1234a") );
 $b->set( "ID", tbd_name::String->new("1234a") );

 print $a->get("ID");

 $a->equals($b) ? print "yes";

 $container = tbd_name::List->new();
 $container->add($a);

 $container->search($b);  #which returns $a

My question is. What do I call this thing? I'm thinking the namespace would be 'KeyValue::' or 'KeyVal::' Would that make sense? (That namespace doesn't seem to be used.) Should this go in 'Class::'?

Thanks.
