Hello dear esteemed monks,

Suppose I have several similar and small modules (actually plugins for another module) and I'm looking for a way to keep them in git.

The plugins are not expected to be changed often. When they are, however, many of them may require an almost identical change (e.g. the main module adds a new feature or fixes a bug).

So what are the ways to achieve it?

• (1) Just make a repository per module. Pros: it's simple. Cons: lots of jumping through hoops in a mass update situation.
• (2) Make a package named My::Module::Plugins and bundle them all. Pros: it's simple. Cons: I want my users to be able to pick which dependencies they need.
• (3)Have several directories in one repository. Pros: Can modify and build them at once. No need to keep an eye on many repos. Cons: it's complicated. The directory structure itself needs maintenance.

What are the examples on CPAN? So far I've been able to peek at Map::Tube::* which uses the first approach. But maybe there are others? What do they use?

Thank you.
