A hint I got from someone (Andreas?) when I once thought about putting large datasets on CPAN (besides thinking twice if it's really neccessary at all) was: divide the packages into separate distributions, eg. Foo::Bar::Data and Foo::Bar::Everything::Else This way you don't spam the CPAN with the same data when the code changes, because Foo-Bar-Data keeps stable and the rest just depends on it.
