For what it's worth, I have decided that for the Apache::AuthCookieDBI 
module (which I maintain) that all new releases will be in the 
Apache2::** namespace.

My personal (not very strong) opinion is that all mod_perl 2.x modules 
should be in CPAN under Apache2::*, to avoid confusion. The README and 
INSTALL and perldoc can (and should) mention any Apache::* versions.
