Seeking naming guidance

Hello World,

I'm seeking guidance on naming a module to avoid inappropriately 
stepping on existing namespace.

The module is a wrapper for (actually subclass of) Data::Dumper with a 
fairly large API.  But its most distinguishing feature is interpolating 
strings where massaged Data::Dumper output is substituted for variable 
references.

Locally this has been in use for years as module "Vis", but now that I'm 
going to contribute it to CPAN I thought it would be best to rename the 
module to something like

   Data::Dumper::Interpolate    # Most suggestive, but a lot to type
   Data::Dumper::Interp            # less typing, still sort-of suggestive
   Data::Interpolate                   # even less typing but more vague

My first question is whether placing *anything* below Data::Dumper is 
appropriate.  Obviously my module is not supported or sanctioned by the 
authors of Data::Dumper.

Thanks for any help!
