Thanks for writing it in Perl - some of us "old timers" never bothered to learn
Python ;)

I've often struggled with this decision too. I will generally do this after
the protoname and first dot: Whenever there will be more than one "subtype"
it's separated by periods, for example (from packet-wow.c):
wow.srp.m1
wow.srp.m2
wow.srp.g_len
Otherwise, I use underscores:
wow.realm_socket
wow.realm_name
wow.realm_color
There are no rules about this as Chris stated. Perhaps there should be at
least some guidance in the developer's documentation.
