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.


Kind regards,
