I'm only a humble user of Debian and Perl so please take my suggestions a if I know very little

Put the demos and demo conf in a pod. Then you could have Your::Module::Demo and Your::Module::Demo::Conf, assuming you have Your::Module of course.

You would also have Your::Module::Conf to discuss the default configuration and Your::Module would have to indicate these other pods exist.

The demos and their confs as distinct files could also end up in a sub dir of /usr/share/doc/libyourmodule-perl/. As could any info about the default conf. That's where I might expect to look for them anyway.

As for the shared stuff there are share directories used by many perl modules e.g. /usr/share/perl/5.8.8, /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 and /usr/share/perl5 with rules as to what goes where.

Then you could consider a web site to show the documentation again

Best I can offer I'm afraid - if I am understanding correctly what you are asking of course.
