As Courage says, you can dispense with the libscan sub. In your release kit, you need to distinguish between the following uses of a .pm module:

• Modules that must be there for your module to work. These are pre-requisites, and should be listed (with minimum version numbers if required) in PREREQ_PM, but not included in the kit.

• Additional modules that work alongside the main .pm you are delivering, and you want to be installed with the module. Place these in an appropriate subdirectory of the lib directory (you may need to create a lib directory).

  For example, if we have a module My::Foo, which is the main module, but we also want to distribute My::Bar, you need the following paths

  Foo.pm
  lib/My/Bar.pm
  [download]

• Modules only needed for testing or installation, that are 'thrown away'. Put these in the top level directory as all tests are run with this as current working directory.

Hope this helps

By the way, for a glimpse of the future, you might like to look at Module::Build, which Schwern and others are pushing for new modules, and I believe is going into the 5.10 core.
