I wasn't saying the code was trash - but a carelessly chosen name
and no documentation do make it clutter..

How about putting the module under the *same* name in all your
distributions that use it? This doesn't avoid duplication on
CPAN, granted - but does avoid it on the user end. Instead of
calling it Test::Deep:MM, Foo::Bar::MM, Baz::Quux::MM etc
depending on the distro, just stick it in all distros under the
same name, maybe something like Class::MyMethodMk.
