I've created a handful of modules that each contain one fairly complex function (maybe a couple of hundred lines of code). They are all wrappers to manage and convert PostScript files. For maintainability, I'd like to keep each one in its own file. I would like to know the proper way to manage this, assuming I might want to share these on CPAN. I'm using the "module-starter" tool to create the framework.

I see three options:

• Make each function its own standalone module, so I'd create PostScript::PSjoin, PostScript::PS2png, and PostScript::PStopdf as three standalone projects.
• Keep three separate .pm files, but put them in the same directory structure under one PostScript::MyTools or somesuch. If I do that, are there things required to properly build the dist?
• Put all three functions in one big file. This is my least favorite option.

I'd like any guidance on this so I do the right thing.

Thanks!
