  The thing is, these are free-standing applications, and for the most part

 I'd rather see top-level namespaces for complete applications.  I don't
 think the App::* adds any information. :)

I would imagine that  you meant to qualify this statement with an
assumption that the applications have decently unique names, and not
generic ones that might look like an existing standard use of a
top-level domain (CGI, HTML, Data, WWW, etc).

i didn't really care to do that, but you would have to anyway to
escape the wrath of the PAUSE and CPAN admins.
