What about Module::Install and File::ShareDir? If the author is OK with
bundling the datafile with his module, this seems like the perfect way
to do things. There's really no disadvantage to bundling data with the
module, because the module won't work without the data, and the code
size is probably much less than the data size. (So it's not wasteful to
download the code with each data update.)
