I would like to upload a module I've written to CPAN. I've got a PAUSE
account, but I need to work out a module name.

It's an interface to the Wily text editor's message interface, since
I suspect not many people have heard of wily if you care about it
have a look at:

http://www.cs.yorku.ca/~oz/wily/

The module allows a perl script to connect to a running a wily and use
the messaging interface, creating windows, opening files, intercepting
commands, and so on.

Currently the module is named 'Wily' with a handful of Wily::* packages.
For CPAN it should probably not be a top level namespace. But I can't
find an existing top level namespace in which it fits. In fact I can't
even find a section it fits in.

Any advice would be appreciated.

It's *very* tempting to stick it in Acme:: , since Wily is a work-alike
of the plan9 editor called 'acme'. But that's subverting the acme
namespace...
