After visiting more of CPAN's dusty corners, and considering that most similar modules are in the Hash:: namespace, I'm leaning towards Hash::Wrap. My colleagues seem to think that has something to do with hash (in the culinary sense) and wonton wrappers. Middle of the afternoon here. Maybe they're hungry.
