Points well taken.
Fact is, it's quiet here today, and while I'm aware of documentation. I see very little (nearly none) specific information regarding such an endevour. I actually spent a great deal of time on this (looking). As I thought it might be a great "how-to" Module/FAQ for aspiring Authors. There's volumes of information on the creation/maintaining of "typical" Module creation, but precious little on simple script authoring/maintenance. So hence initiating this thread here on PerlMonks for input/feedback.
