Dear monks,

I cooked up a small Perl application consisting of a script, which is based on a Module (with some submodules), like so (much simplified)

script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use My::Module;
[download]

My/Module.pm:

package My::Module;
...
[download]

My/Module/Submodule.pm:

package My::Module::Submodule
...
[download]

Now, to offer a staging version of all that, I'd like to let Makefile.PL a "staging version" of all that. Assume $VERSION==0.9, then I'd like to have:

script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use My::Module-0.9;
[download]

My/Module-0.9.pm:

package My::Module;
...

My/Module-0.9/Submodule.pm:
<code>
package My::Module::Submodule
...
[download]

Is that possible with Makefile.PL? Is that even a good idea? Where do I start? What alternatives do I have?
