new module proposal

Hi everyone

This is my first posting and my first module (proposal) for CPAN.
I need some advice..
I am about to write a module (another one you may say) to put things
on images.
The concept is to cut an image into boxes on which things are drawn.
There are (and will be more) backends for graphics libraries. The goal
is to use the same user code with different libraries like GD,
ImageMagick, Imager and so on. One could start a programm with IM and
then just switch to GD by defining a different library in the
constructor method.

The idea is to make it easy to implement more backends.
And to make it easy to write wrappers which use the basic
functionality of the module. And wrapper-wrappers.. ;-)

You may find the code here:
http://puffin.ch/perl/mnnm/

There is some documentation as well..
Perhaps read lib/MNNM.pm / lib/MNNM.html first.

There are some examples in /examples to demonstrate what can be done
already and to see if it can be done on your system.
(Note: you need to install GD or IM to run them, or both if you run
them all with run_all_examples.pl)

The first thing this module needs is a good name (for CPAN).
My No Name Module is perhaps not a smart choice. ;-)

Then:
What should be done next?
When should I ask for an PAUSE account?
Some more advice?

cheers
:m)
