As started today in this thread, there seems to be a recognizable issue that CPAN doesn't really like distributions without .pm files (searching doesn't work, namely).
I don't intend to bother people behind CPAN with my problem (but possibly I should?), so I've got an idea that whoever was bitten by this feature, would start including a dummy .pm file in the distribution that doesn't have any other modules.
So, the question is, what would be the best namespace for it? I was thinking script::, Dummy::, and (I think the best is) bin::. Namely, if all you have in your tarball
is bin/myscript and Makefile.PL, then have lib/bin/myscript.pm and enjoy being found as bin::myscript . I think there's something in this idea, so I'd really like to hear opinions.

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).
