At a client I've already seen two teams of programmers using
CompanyName::Utils on different projects/machines. Of course, one day
they had to be installed on the same perl installation...
I think I like it. It provides the same safety as the Java way, but
without the verbosity in the general case ("use CGI" instead of
"use org.perl.CGI").
