G'day -

I'd like to submit a small utility to CPAN (like those found in
perlutil) It's not a module. How do I package it for upload?
Do I make a dummy module for it, holding just a shebang and the POD?

Thanx,
- Steve

I _think_ PPT is just using a dummy module. but don't quote me on that.

perhaps install it in a sandbox and see what it does.

The practice these days is to put it in the App:: namespace. See e.g.
ack and cpanm.

Modules don't have shebang lines.
