multi :: packages like Apache::Request::Upload::Brigade::READ is a bad idea

[Stas Bekman <st...@stason.org>]

I've just noticed things like: Apache::Request::Upload::Brigade::READ - 
it's not the most efficient choice. The more :: you have in the package 
name the longer it'll take for Perl to traverse the linked list of globs 
to get to the last entry. Doug who's an "efficiency-freak" advised to 
never use more than one ::, or at at most two.

Thanks for point that out.  One obvious thing is that ::Request
does not belong in the name at all- that was a mistake (independent
of the efficiency argument).
