I think it looks great! Good job Lyle and thanks.

I would agree that CGI::App is a bit generic and often confusing. I'm not sure I care for the name of Titanium.

How about 'Mantle'? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_(geology)

A couple of positive meanings, easy to say and type, short and not used much beyond geology. 

Take Care,

Lee
