While you're at it, your lint process may want to catch that there should only be one package statement per file, and that package statement should match the filename, including path, from some entry in @INC, with directory separators becoming ::, and a .pm thrown on at the end.
My (limited) reading of modules leads me to think this is overkill. I've seen multiple package statements in a module for classes/namespaces derived from the main module, but the package was too small to worry about creating separate files. (I wonder how many modules in the core distribution make use of multiple package statements?)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
