I'm looking for guidance on naming my first module for CPAN. So far I've been calling it
LG::QuickMemo_Plus::Extract::Memo
The purpose of the module is to help me extract the large number of memos I have written on my LG smartphone in QuickMemo+. The module extracts the memo text from the lqm files that QuickMemo+ exports. I couldn't find any software that could open those files other than 7zip.
The lqm file is actually a zip file that contains a JSON file that contains the memo text so it was an easy module to write. Each memo is in a separate archive so it is very tedious to extract each memo by hand.
My questions are:
- Is this name acceptable for CPAN? Some other options I considered are:
- LG::QuickMemo_Plus::Memo::Extract
- LG::QuickMemo+::Memo::Extract
- QuickMemo_Plus::Memo::Extract
- QuickMemo_Plus::Extract::Memo
- QuickMemo_Plus::Extract
- Is a module like this needed on CPAN?
- I'm thinking it might be better to just make a small GUI and release the binary on Github. My plan is to do both.
But I wonder how many Perl programmers would be interested in this module.

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).
