<p>I recently faced a similar problem: methods that are meant to be used by subclasses, but not by "the public." You can see my solution <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~jsiracusa/Rose-DB-Object-0.072/lib/Rose/DB/Object/Metadata/Column.pm">on CPAN</a>. I created a separate "PROTECTED API" section, and I explained what I meant by "protected" in the "DESCRIPTION" section. I'm not particularly happy with this solution, but at least it's explicit.</p>
