<p>I'd generally name my modules things like:</p>
<ul>
<li>MyApp::Command::Foo</li>
<li>MyApp::Command::Bar</li>
<li>MyApp::Lib::Foobar</li>
<li>MyApp::Lib::Database</li>
</ul>
<p>And instead of loading library modules at compile time with <c>use MyApp::Lib::Database</c>, defer loading to run-time (with <c>require MyApp::Lib::Database</c>) <em>inside</em> your command's <c>execute</c> method. This means that you can avoid loading up database connections, etc when the user is just running, say, <c>myapp help</c>. Load them only once they're needed.</p>
<p>PS: a release using this technique is <a href="https://metacpan.org/release/P5U">P5U</a>.</p>
