It's more than a suggestion, it's a "should" (i.e. "make it this way
unless there are very good reasons to do it differently).

AFAICS the dist name is Win::Hivex and it ships two modules
Win::Hivex and Win::Hivex::Registry, so libwin-hivex-perl seems
indeed like the logical candidate for the package name in my POV.

Why do you think it doesn't "feel" correct?
