Yes, but I'm not sure there's any need to do that. I was more musing on
the definition of an application really. However I suppose your observation
does support using the application-style name 'starlet'. Starlet does pull
in Server::Starter as a dependency, so that's clearly how it's expected
to be used.
I think I'll go ahead with an upload with the name 'starlet' unless
I hear to the contrary soon.
Thanks for the feedback :)
