The list you refer to is by its own third line a year and a half old,
and only contains registered modules at that. Have you looked at
search.cpan.org? Or browsed Randy Kobes' search?
Given that this is Sun-specific, if you're starting a new top-level
namespace, maybe it should start with Sun::. Or be part of the Solaris::
stuff if applicable, by analogy with VMS::Queue, which is an interface
to that OS's queue manager.
