If you are using Protocol Buffers for cross-language compatibility, it's quite possible that the classes declared in the foo.proto file (person.proto in your example) will clash with the name of some unrelated perl class.

For example, if someone wrote a Person class, put it on CPAN, and I wanted to use both that Person from CPAN and the example Person class generated by protoxs... I would have a problem.

It would be very useful to future users of this program if there were an option to allow all of the generated perl modules to have some sort of user-specified prefix.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
