Note that, since no one developing perl modules such as this discusses them 
first on the development mailing list, there are now at *least* three modules 
doing very similar things in different ways, with different name spaces.

I would very much like to see a single official API for each scripting language, 
with a good feature set, rather than 3 different ones with different but 
overlapping feature sets.

If no one else discusses these in advance, I will just pick one and commit it 
to svn and wait for patches ... which is obviously not the best approach, but 
no one else seems to worry about that.
