I want to distribute perl command line program (say myscript.pl in myscript.zip), which split into several modules. Some modules are really useful and I am going to publish it in CPAN (for example one of them is Net::MyModule).

myscript.zip can come with installer (or have myscript.deb/myscript.rpm in it) which installs all modules into global location.

I am wondering how to deal with possible conflict of Net::MyModule from CPAN and Net::MyModule from myscript.zip ( myscript.deb ) ?

Obvious solution is 1) distribute myscript.zip without Net::MyModule 2) Publish Net::MyModule on CPAN 3) Ask/force users to install Net::MyModule from CPAN

But I don't want' to do that currently as myscript.zip works without external dependencies (except Core modules) with any perl version higher that 5.8.8. So I don't want bother non-Perl users to install something using CPAN ( I wan't easier deploy ). Another reason is that I might want to fix something it Net::MyModule and make it immediatelly available with new version of myscript.zip

What are options here?
