Re: Finally a first version of my Module! Questions...

You need a bit more than just the .pm and README files to create a CPAN package. I think the best place to start is to read perlnewmod.

It's probably easiest to create an "empty" source tree using h2xs and then copy the code from your .pm file into the template in the new tree (and fill in the documentation).

When you've done that, you can run the usual

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make dist
[download]

to create the distribution tarball.

Also, you don't need to register a namespace. You can if you want to, but it's not required.

If memory does not fails me, a new namespace will not be create unless that is a fairy amount of modules (like 5) that do something closely related.
