There is plenty. Like module-names being hardcoded into tests.

FWIW: There are other modules which try to solve this issue.

like Module::Starter::AddModule

I think I will fall back to a more dynamic approach, using pseudo.t files in my test directory automating the updates whenever I run prove.

Things like updating .pod files and README by templates and updating the VERSION number. And updating the manifest and so on.
