There are already modules in Geo::Openstreetmap:: (Geo::Openstreetmap::Parser)
and Geo::OSM:: (eg have a look at Geo::OSM::MapFeatures)

I’m not familiar with openstreetmap, so this question may not make sense / be irrelevant:
Are you providing for rendering on top of existing map tiles, or drawing of map tiles from OSM data?

Maybe Geo::OSM::MapTile or ::Tile to represent a maptile, and ::Overlay or something like that for overlay functions. Or you could just provide those as methods on the [Map]Tile.
