Some things are known about the name:
- It won't contain the word CPAN (Andreas did offer
the use of CPAN.pm provided there was some backwards
compatibility, but many people feel the name is
poorly chosen).
- It will be a top-level name (to protest top-level
names in general, talk to p5p not me ;)
The meaning it will attempt to capture is beyond the scope
of the Net:: modules. More time is probably spent
determining if you have the Net:: modules than using
them... At any rate, CPANPLUS is aimed more at
module management than just fetching.
/me is staying out of this entire quagmire of naming
and will just call it CPANPLUS until it gets another
name...
Ps. To comment on sauoq's post: CPANPLUS does allow
you to fetch modules from your local file system. I
can't say about CPAN.pm since I don't use it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
