No, App- was only included in your distribution name, and the distribution name isn't used for anything to do with the namespace. You can verify by logging into pause and checking https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=peek_perms or searching through the raw file here: http://www.cpan.org/modules/02packages.details.txt , but it looks like you deleted the dist, so you can't find them there now.
