Take a look at Make::Maker, and in the ActiveState documents, 
ActivePerl-faq2, the section headed "How do I make a PPM package?"

I've never done this myself, but I would think that you would need to tell 
Make::Maker to run pod2html on the files that contain POD documentation, 
and then copy the files to the appropriate place.  Download some modules 
off of CPAN, and take a look at the Makefile.PL's that are in there.  That 
should give you someplace to start.

Any module authors out there with more advice?

Thank you for your time,

Sean.
