Finally, you package up the sample dist, include a script to drive it, and put it on CPAN as a module starter tool… :-) What you’re describing is a module starter tool – a homegrown one, but it is one nonetheless. Using a tool from CPAN is not conceptually different from what you’re doing, but a good way for developers who haven’t developed specific needs and wants (yet) to get a headstart on doing things properly.
