Re: Moose based Perl library for MARC records

A couple of questions and comments (some left over from the much earlier
conversion from MARC.pm to the MARC::Record family):

1. Do you ever expect someone to use both your modules and MARC::Record
at the same time? If so, you need to be extra careful about name
overlaps.

2. MARC::Record also handles data as objects - just not the same objects
as Moose. I think choices like MARC::OO and MARC::Object might be
confusing to new users in the future.

3. There is not really much of a problem (for users) with long names. It
appears MooseX:: is currently in common use on CPAN - so I would
recommend MooseX::MARC. That appears to be to clearest choice and the
one that fits the current naming patterns most closely.
