Great.

Either of those (or similar) would be fine by me. Whatever fits best
into perl sensibilities. I generally prefer all-lowercase names for CVS
modules, but I haven't insisted on it for the bindings.

Looking over the existing module names for bindings, it looks like
"cairo-perl" would fit in well. That matches cairo-ocaml and has the
same ordering as CairoJava.

There are more bindings that use language-derivative prefixes: hscairo,
pycairo, rcairo, but that's probably not sufficiently descriptive for
general use, (think python, perl, php, etc.).

Excellent. I have a lot of fun with cairo, and I'm always glad to see
that others find cairo fun too.

Have fun!
