GrandFather, this is useful for set of perl modules/ a distro, with tests, etc.. the main focus are the modules and the functionality they provide.
Your suggestion in useful. With something like CGI::Application, this kind of thing is useful.

It makes sense and I've seen that done in distros.

I think your explanation falls really short of addressing my concerns- however. Maybe I didn't do a good job in explaining myself.

The scripts, helper data, config files, whatever.. these are not examples, these would be a good chunk of functional stuff. It's stuff that will be available system wide to all users, etc. They're production scripts/material.

And a lot of it is not .pm material.

The stuff really is more of a project- but the modules allow other programs/scripts/uis, to work with the same stuff.

Maybe I should separate these things further.
