Dear fellow monks

Some days ago I started rewriting a project of mine -a Perl framework to be used with LDAP applications, and I avidly read perrin's question about writing CPAN modules and your advice about starting a large project.

I went further looking for information on how to write my modules to be CPAN-ready. I hit chapter 22 of the camel book (3rd edition), and several nodes here at perlmonks.org, like this tutorial and, from there, perlnewmod and MakeMaker's documentation.

Unfortunately, all this docs are focused mainly on building a one-module distribution. The tutorial gives some advice on multi-module distros, but that approach doesn't seem to scale well to me when you have a lot of modules variously distributed and as deep as in: MyModule::Widget::Tk::Window.pm, MyModule::Widget::Gtk::Window...

Any other document for me to RTFM? Any advice? Any pointer?

As always, thanks a lot!
