As an ETL guy, I'm frequently told how (needlessly) obfuscated our terms
are.  As for ETL, I'd say keep it - ExtractTransformAndLoad is just too long
and I'm not aware of any other meanings affixed to ETL beside what you are
coding to.

For the 'root' name-space I *do* think there are things in the perl world
that "DW" could mean (DreamWeaver?).  How about DataWarehouse:: or even
Data::Warehouse::?

Did I mention that you rock?  Can't wait to leverage your hard work in
furtherance of my own laziness!

Thank you,
