	Stephen, I think your code looks good and it deserves to fly ... 
but maybe under a new (better) flag?

	Maybe a name change could help the situation? I can see some
problems with using the P5EE moniker:

	* it's become a 'loaded' term (now with Boogie Man status)
	* potential trade mark infringement with Sun (J2EE)
	* perl people may be agnostic towards J2EE-like technology
	* the mark may connote - too much 'embrace and extend'
	* Perl 6 - what then?
	* 'P5EE' may have already served its purpose - highlighting which 
	  parts of J2EE are useful - and the demand in the community


	* The mark should say something like: enterprise strength but 
	  proudly + distinctly Perl - I think what your building is on the 
	  way

	* How about something 'Blue'?
