The two are simply module namespaces (if I understand your question
correctly). I.e. Catalyst::Foo versus CatalystX::Foo.

Because I'm not an authority on this, a wild claim is sure to bring
out a Cat developer to correct me...

CatalystX is used for systems which are designed to be used with
Catalyst but are not hooking into its guts directly. It is also out
of politeness to the Cat developers not to pollute their namespace.

In fact the Extending Catalyst man page says:

"Use the CatalystX::* namespace if you can! If your extension isn't
a Model, View, Controller, Plugin, or Engine, it's best to leave it
out of the Catalyst:: namespace. Use <CatalystX::> instead."

HTH,
