Subject: PBP is not an appropriate name
Sorry to hassle you about naming again, but unfortunately PBP is really not a good namespace either. Perl Best Practices is a book by Damian Conway that came out some time ago. PBP strongly implies that your code implements something specific from that book. However, this module is just a bunch of stuff that _you_ think are best practices, not Damian. I think it'd be best to name this (and PBP::Moose) with some more arbitrary namespace that reflects that this is a personal collection of your best practices. Maybe JVBP:: or JurgenBP::?

Well, the distributions go ever on rules of Damian Conway. Download of 'strict' and 'warnings' 'IO-File', 'IO-Handle' (PBP-Perl) and creating your own getter and setter, etc. But I will both move (PBP-Perl to Modern-PBP-Perl and PBP-Moose to Modern-PBP-Moose)

Absent an endorsement from Damian, I think it'd be best to avoid the "PBP" entirely. And Modern is confusing since there's already a Modern::Perl distro based on the Modern Perl book. I really think just using your name would be best.
