I have seen Distro with multiple XS modules that the question has already been asked but I hope to get more specific tips.

I have one very small module, Win32::Shortkeys::Kbh that use xs code to interact with windows API functions.

I can change the code, compile it with a makefile.PL in the top module folder:

WriteMakefile(
    NAME              => 'Win32::Shortkeys::Kbh',
    VERSION_FROM      => 'lib/Win32/Shortkeys/Kbh.pm',
    ABSTRACT_FROM     => 'lib/Win32/Shortkeys/Kbh.pm',
    OBJECT => 'hook.o Kbh.o',
 );

The xs c and h files are also in this folder.

I have an other module Win32::Shortkeys, that use this first one and consists only from perl code. The makefile.pl is

WriteMakefile(
    NAME         => 'Win32::Shortkeys',
    VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Win32/Shortkeys.pm', # finds \$VERSION
     ....
    PREREQ_PM    => {
               ...                    
                     'Win32::Shortkeys::Kbh' => 0.01,
                     'Config::YAML::Tiny' => 1.42,
                      ...

                    },
);

Even if the xs module could be used by others, it's so tiny that I would try to unite both modules in a single module (win32::Shortkeys).

I suppose I could place the xs code in a xs folder. From the mod_perl example given in the node above, I see that there's also a makefile.PL here but I would be glad if someone could gave me more indication, redirect me to more examples, before I start testing...

Thanks !
