Update... I'd also like to ensure that this module is capable of being automatically included in ActiveStates ppm repository.

ActiveState uses an automated system that will build ppm packages and place them in their repository if the package, and all of it's dependencies, build and test OK against the relevant base ActivePerl distribution. So as long as your package satisfies that, it should be automatically added to ActiveState's repository - this might take a week or so since it first appears on CPAN. If there's a problem with this, you can request one to be manually made and added to the uwinnipeg repository.
