Getopt::RSE or some variant if you want to people to be able to find it easily...

Dear module authors, I hgave a new module to upload, but am more than a little unsire about the appropriate name. The module is a set of Resources for Standard Executables. It's a bit like GetOptions on steroids; indeed, it is a large user of Getopt::Long, Pod::Usage, and Log::Info. It provides a way for executables to quickly and easily set up option handling, with a number of standard options, which also provide self-documentation (e.g., --help, --man options), and options for controlling the output (via Log::Info). The Getopt::Long is configured, and the calling sequence for arguments is controlled in one place. In this way, all executables using this module perform in a standard way, documentation (e.g. for options) is kept in one place (I was frustated duplicating it), description for general option-handling semantics is kept in one place, etc. This module is not mere theory; it has been used extensively & successfully at my place of work for some time now. So, as a starting strawman, I propose Exec::, since it is for executables, RSE, as in Resources for Standard Executables. Hence, Exec-RSE. Does anybody have a better suggestion? Mx.
