Tim Bunce has set out what I thought was an excellent naming scheme.  See:
<URL:http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/websoft/libwww-perl/archive/1995h1/0062.html
>.  I am getting down to hard tacks on a CGI::Response module, and the
LWP::Response, MIMEheader, MIMEtypes, StatusCode, and Date would all meet
the CGI:: needs with very little modification (more extended comments to
follow).  It would be wonderful to have the code Tim classifies under
MIME:: and HTTP:: separated out and useable without reliance on
LWP::Message.

Combining Tim's message and the LWP:: layout (one possibility):

HTTP::
::Base
::Request
::Response
::StatusCode

MIME::
::Header
::Types

WWW::
::UserAgent
::Protocol::
        ::http
        ::file
::Socket
::Date
::Debug
::Simple

What do you think?
