I'm tooting my own horn here, but could you use the Net::Google::GData
module as the base and let's see if we can get rid of all the
duplicated effort on the cpan? Plus I could use some more eyes on my
module.

I'm thinking the same thing, but it looks like the GData module is
going to have to be limited to accessing and sending the feed; while
subclass modules (e.g., Net::Google::Blogger) will have to handle the
stuff particular to that service. I could be wrong, if so, please
speak up.
As to the documentation, I'm finding the same thing. Caelum on
freenode.org#perl pointed out the Class::Can module to me just a
couple of days ago and its speeding things up nicely. In my code I
can do this:
my %methods = Class::Can->interrogate( (split /=/, "$blogger")[0] );
and I get a list of methods that $blogger can use. Looks something like:
'errstr' => 'XML::Atom::ErrorHandler',
'_blogs_accessor' => 'Net::Google::Blogger',
'mk_accessors' => 'Class::Accessor',
'accessor_name_for' => 'Class::Accessor',
'get_account_data' => 'Net::Google::Blogger',
I've found that it's easier to convert that to an hash of arrays:
'XML::Atom::ErrorHandler' => [ errstr ],
etc.
YMMV

I would be glad to collaborate with you on this.
