I've been using $self in the callback methods which all start: 

  sub respond { 
      my $self = shift

I'm not sure I understand your questions, but agree about reading code: The documentation I refer to most frequently is the definition of sub activate -- just to remind myself what happens, when.

    Yes, the code is meant to be small, directly understandable, and extensible. That's why it's a lot of small methods instead of one humungous subroutine.

    That's not a cop-out for not providing better docs. My secret partner is feeding me examples and more tests, and I'm incorporating them in a new release probably in two weeks.

      why dont you create GMANE-based mailing list for your module merlyn? you know it's going to be popular. No need to answer questions privately when we could all benefit from the answers.
