Packaging a CGI with modules?



Perl sages,

What is the recommended way to package a CGI with its own modules?

This seems not very well-documented: not just for debian, but
generally.  I'm using MakeMaker because it seems to be halfway
portable.

As well as having ITP'd koha, I am an upstream developer of it.
Upstream, I am setting WriteMakefile()'s PM to move the files into
good locations - for example, I'm currently putting the CGIs in
$(INST_LIB)/koha/cgi-bin - and I intend to mv them with debian/rules
to meet policy.  Is that the best MakeMaker-definable location for
them to start in?

Also, I'm intending to use prompt() to obtain values to generate
configuration files.  Is there a slick way to get debconf to supply
prompt() answers, should I rerewrite the config file from post-inst,
or something else?

Any answers to the above or any pointers to stuff I've not found would
be very appreciated.

Thanks,
