If you want to put them on CPAN, you will at least need a dummy (empty) module with a version number to make them installable. Once you decide on that module name (something that Mojo core is not likely to want in the future), you can put the templates inside that namespace. Another problem however is making the templates usable once installed, as only Mojolicious's own install path will automatically be used.
I would recommend packaging it as a plugin, so that you can then have the plugin add the installed path to the renderer's namespace, similar to in the example here: https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious::Guides::Cookbook#Making-your-application-installable (but don't change the application's home, just add your path to @{$app->renderer->paths} ) Example: package My::Templates::Plugin; use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious::Plugin'; use File::Basename 'basename'; use File::Spec::Functions 'catdir'; sub register { my ($self, $app, $config) = @_; my $template_dir = catdir dirname(__FILE__), 'templates'; push @{$app->renderer->paths}, $template_dir; } You can also package the templates in a sharedir instead of in the lib directory (note that only ExtUtils::MakeMaker will install arbitrary templates in the lib directory, but all installers can use File::ShareDir::Install). Then your plugin's register method would use File::ShareDir or File::Share to find the installed sharedir.
