Data::Omap, Data::Pairs

Hello all,

I am looking at how best to represent MARC[1] records in YAML.  My
thinking is following a couple of tracks: 1) exploring a (Perl)
MARC::File::YAML (or some such) module that reads a stream of YAML
documents and loads them as MARC::Record objects, and 2) defining a
workable set of (non-language-specific) routines that can process a
!!pairs[2] data structure directly. The latter because I think MARC records
can faithfully be represented as !!pairs of !!pairs.

The MARC issues aside, I have uploaded a couple of modules to cpan,
Data::Pairs[3] and--incidentally--Data::Omap[4] that are a stab at defining
this workable set of routines.  If you want to critique them, I'm all ears,
but primarily I want to ask if the namespaces "Data::Omap" and
"Data::Pairs" look reasonable.  I plan to register them at some point, but
want to pass them through a few gauntlets first.

Regards,

-- Brad
