as for designing the categories i think it would be best to stick to existing layouts; probably the one from java (and not the one from perl)
Java is a well defined example of a namespace, but I am not a fan of its C-ishness sometimes. But yes, definitely not perl.
Strange. My experience has been that all external stuff in Java gets named by the domain name of the author ("vendor"), like org/eds/hans/mystuff/MyStuff.class rather than the Perl layout SomeGeneralCategory/MyStuff/MyStuff.pm.
Which part of Java's namespacing are you thinking about and which part of Perl's namespacing are you thinking about?
ftom (f-tom a strange atom?) vs. f2m (f-to-i, freq2midi would be better)
how is a midi note not a frequency? It should have been hertz to midi. That's clear. The "2" can get in the way. E.g. you convert square meters to square furlongs; in your convention that would be [m22furlong2]. "twenty-two" ?
wouldn't you want [midi_to_hz] to be clearer?
But the standard distro should be clearly organized. There is no java.misc, for example, (tho java.util is kind of misc-like).
java.util is exactly misc-like. Isn't every library a "utility" of some kind anyway??
