I entirely agree with this idea, except for the naming scheme. I much  
prefer to name things by what they do, rather than what they are.

E.g. MyApp::Web vs MyApp::Catalyst.
E.g. MyApp::View::HTML vs MyApp::View::TT

The former in both cases tells you what the code is _for_, the latter  
tells you instead what it's implemented with, which isn't (in my  
opinion) as semantically helpful when thinking about your application  
layout.
