The one complication is that if you use h2xs to create the wrappers you 
would have Sample::Module in the same directory with the MANIFEST and other 
files as Module.pm.  To have multiple modules in the distribution if is 
cleaner to have it as lib/Sample/Module.pm so all the pm files can live in 
lib with and use their full name.  Then you list them all in MANIFEST so 
make can "just find them".  And in Makefile.PL you usually tell it to 
collect the version from the primary module.

The last release of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker was during YAPC::Europe.  My 
presentation that went with it can be found at
