Description

I just had a look at the Perl stuff generated from tutorial.thrift:

....tutorial/gen-perl/
........shared/
............Constants.pm
............Types.pm
........tutorial/
............Constants.pm
............Types.pm
........Calculator.pm
........SharedService.pm

Since 'Calculator' (resp. 'SharedService') is defined in 'tutorial.thrift'
(resp. 'shared.thrift'), whose namespace declaration is 'tutorial' (resp.
'shared'), I would have expected the following:

....tutorial/gen-perl/
........shared/
............Constants.pm
............Types.pm
............SharedService.pm
........tutorial/
............Constants.pm
............Types.pm
............Calculator.pm

(Which is what you get for Python, by the way)

With the current layout, if I want to define a service called 'Calculator'
under my own namespace 'foo', I would get:

....foo/
........Constants.pm
........Types.pm
....Calculator.pm

,which would clash with Calculator.pm generated from tutorial.thrift.
