I am still not quite understanding what you want. Are you saying you want to create a CPAN module that installs a script (and possible some modules as well)? If so, then take a look at any of the existing modules that do that like App::cpanminus. I believe App is the namespace for that sort of module. In particular, look at the EXE_FILES section of its Makefile.PL and the modules layout.
