I'm working on setting up an internal darkpan that consists of distributions built from single modules in lib/. However, lib/ contains many modules. For my purposes I need each module in lib/ to result in a single distribution. I believe that in my Makefile.PL for a given distribution I will need to specify a PM => {...} entry so that I'm not attempting to pull in the entire contents of lib/. Is this an approach that will work?

If so, the next problem is I'm not entirely clear on what belongs in the PM hash. The documentation in ExtUtils::MakeMaker lists this:

{'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIB)/install_as.pm'}

It seems this will work if I use this, "'lib/SomeModule.pm' => '$(INST_LIB)/SomeModule.pm'", except that this dumps things into blib as blib/lib/SomeModule.pm, which isn't quite right. Can someone with some experience using this field help provide that incantation that will allow lib/SomeModule.pm to get pulled into the distribution but nothing else in lib/?
